Electronic Voting
How can we make this secure and have people trust it? Currently I have no faith in the diabold machines and I would not be surprised if there were major flaws (intentional and unintentional) in the last election. Personally I feel the only way we can possibly add the security and reliablility is to open source the software. This way all political parties can look at the code and make sure there are no back doors. Hackers from around the world will look for exploits. Personally I think we should do somethink like open source it and then not use it for a few years while people find flaws in the code. In addition all companies that have been used in elections so far should be forced to share their code with at least an idependent team of coding experts to read through the code and look for exploits.
