Olá
Lendo isto aqui na CNN (Super Tuesday puts electronic voting to test), me dei a pachorra de olhar a solução deles e vi que um dos fortes concorrentes para fornecer lá é o mesmo que fornece aqui. Abaixo alguns links para conferir:
Diebold Election Systems Home
In 2000, Diebold’s wholly-owned Procomp subsidiary manufactured and installed more than 360,000 direct recording electronic voting terminals throughout Brazil. …
Mas nem todo mundo está confiando 100% na novidade. Um cara escreveu um livro chamado Black Box Voting e define isto assim:[list]Black Box Voting: “Any voting system in which the mechanism for recording and/or tabulating the vote is hidden from the voter, and/or the mechanism lacks a tangible record of the vote cast.”[/list]Algumas citações colhidas no início do livro:[list]“What’s being done to ensure that computerized voting systems are trustworthy?
… Bev Harris, author of the book “Black Box Voting,” is the godmother of the movement.”
— Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe
“Bev Harris … found Diebold software – which the company refuses to make available for public inspection, on the grounds that it’s proprietary – on an unprotected server, where anyone could download it…This in itself was an incredible breach of security…Why isn’t this front page news?”
— Paul Krugman, New York Times
“Worried about computerized democracy? You should be. You may have already voted in 2004 — they just haven’t yet told you whom you voted for. Bev Harris gives you the real skinny on the Gatesification of our ballot box.”
— Greg Palast, Author, “The Best Democracy Money Can Buy”
“This book is already required reading for people to learn about electronic voting, in my opinion.”
— Dr. David Dill, Stanford University Computer Science Professor[/list]Mais sobre a super terça feira americana e a questão dos riscos do voto de caixa preta em http://www.blackboxvoting.com/
Os americanos são muito gozados. Primeiro elegem o Bush com minoria de votos em eleição decidida no estado governado por seu irmão. Agora se preocupam com os riscos do voto eletrônico.
