Interesting post. I went to a talk last Friday by one of the authors of a 
report on flaws in electronic voting equipment
> Subject: CS Colloquium - Dan Wallach, Rice University - 10/31/03
> Title: The Risks of Electronic Voting

The text of the report is at:

"...For these new computerized voting systems, neither source code nor the 
results of any third-party certification analyses have been available for 
the general population to study, ....company just announced that the state 
of Maryland awarded them an order valued at up to $55.6 million to deliver 
touch screen voting systems."
