The Public Ballot

Mike Chapple and his students at Notre Dame are examining an anonymized version of our voter preference records, as well a computer program which I wrote in Ruby several months ago which automates the process of matching a pollbook record to a VVPAT record.

I have been in contact with the head of the Ohio e-voting security review (at SysTest Labs)to verify he had been made aware of the voter confidentiality threat which the ES&S iVotronic machines possess.

Miami University Alumnus Ryan Nowak has theorized that using an advanced statistical model could greatly increase accuracy at failure points (i.e. times which multiple machines undergo heavy activity). His proposal is very intriguing; we will be examining its feasibility around the middle of next week.
