Report questions progress on e-voting standards« Thread Started on Jul 28, 2007, 11:52am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Report questions progress on e-voting standardsBy: Grant Gross(10/25/05) read at source> http://www.intergovworld.com/article/id ... mQuestions about the security and accuracy of electronic voting systems are likely to continue into the 2006 national elections, because the U.S. government has not yet completed work on electronic voting guidelines, according to a new government report. With lingering concerns about the security of e-voting systems, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) needs to define security policies and set up a machine-certification program to help state and local election officials use e-voting equipment, said the report, issued Friday by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO). "Until these efforts are completed, there is a risk that many state and local jurisdictions will rely on voting systems that were not developed, acquired, tested, operated, or managed in accordance with rigorous security and reliability standards -- potentially affecting the reliability of future elections and voter confidence in the accuracy of the vote count," the GAO report said.
