Washington Post: Ohio Voting Machines Contained Programming Error That Dropped Votes, Aug. 21, 2008 [Note: States like MD with paperless voting cannot detect these errors in their vote counts using audits. States like OH and UT can detect the dropped votes *if* they do valid audits (Utah does not. Ohio does)]

How do you compare security across voting systems? Aug. 19, 2008 by Dan Wallach, Rice U. Computer Scientist [This paper refutes the work of two political scientists Thad Hall (U. of Utah) and Michael Alvarez (CA IT) (http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8641.html) who support
e-voting and claim that "paper ballots would fail to meet the
standards to which e-voting is held." The computer scientists' conclusion is that:
"Of voting technologies presently on the market and
certified for use in most states, precinct-based optical scanning systems appear to have the best resistance to security attacks, based on our complexity analysis."
