UniLect Voting System decertified, declare unreliable and unsafe.

greatest worry is system and programming errors, not malicious hacker
attacks, according to a survey released this week by the Ponemon
Institute.
The study, conducted in July and early August, aimed to measure public
opinion about electronic voting systems and then compare the […]
