Final farewell to voting computers in the Netherlands - Golem.de - "The Dutch Ministry of the Interior announced the final farewell to voting computers on Friday. In the future, citizens in the country will once again cast their votes with pen and paper. The Dutch Council of Ministers was prompted to make this decision after massive security vulnerabilities in the voting computers were proven last year. The Chaos Computer Club (CCC) demonstrated in mid-2007 how the ROM memory of a Nedap computer can be replaced with a manipulated ROM within 60 seconds. Researchers and the civil rights initiative "Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet" ("We do not trust voting computers") had demonstrated further security vulnerabilities." - wouldn't it be great if our politicians would react similarly? However, this is less likely to be expected.
