Good news - SERVE abandoned
Feb. 6th, 2004 12:36 amThanks to
webcowgirl for the heads-up. The SERVE electronic voting system I discussed earlier has been canned by the DoD [NYTimes, registration required]. Rah! Good things sometimes do happen. Now all we need is for Maryland to abandon Diebold and we'll really be getting somewhere.
Good news indeed
Date: 2004-02-06 03:00 am (UTC)The Diebold matter really is appalling,though. While I could put SERVE down to a mixture of the politicians' syllogism and that strangely naïve faith America tends to have in gee-whizz technology, the motivations of Diebold appear to me to be most suspect - and I am by no means a conspiracy theorist. The implications are certainly very worrying.
