Here's an O'Reilly interview by James Turner of Dr. Barbara Simons, newly-appointed member of the Board of Advisors to the Federal Election Assistance Commission. Dr. Simons in the ONLY computer scientist on the board! The interview presents the perspective of a computer, security, and statistics expert on the current state of technology-assisted voting in the United States. She discusses high-profile state reports that document serious problems with the voting systems sold by major companies (e.g., Diebold), the role of open-source software, and the ways of establishing an easily-auditable paper trail for voting. http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2008/11/a-2008-e-voting-wrapup-with-dr.html.
