Great article...

I wish this had come up earlier in the election. It would have encouraged me to send something out on the question of ballotless (unaccountable, non-transparent) voting. So few people seem to understand the issues, not understanding why electronic banking can be made perfectly safe (a conversation between a voter and the bank, where an audit trail is provided to both parties) while electronic voting can not (where the attacker may be one of the ends of the conversation, and the trail is the ballot that is being done away with).
