For those of you are interested in this kind of stuff...
The state of California have released their study into the practicality & security of E-voting. You can find the report in full here. It's a bit lengthy and nerdy, so I'll give you my personal highlight.
The system was designed by a company called Diebold. At one point, the password for the system was 'diebold'. This is amazing. This is the equivalent of having your bike lock set to 1234. Good thing that they're not protecting anything important behind that password.
Thankfully, it seems that our Electoral Commision's got a bit more of a sensible attitude to the whole thing.
