Many people still don't know about HAVA, the security problems with the electronic voting machines, or that the states have bought them, or are buying them now.

Computer security means more than safety from hackers. It means that the results of normal operation have been proven correct by independent audit. This simple concept is recognized by all computer systems in use today in commerce, industry, or government--except electronic voting machines!

This web site was created to warn people that inauditable or unaudited electronic voting systems are insecure. The danger is that these machines prevent people from detecting and correcting both innocent and intentional errors, as well as hacking attacks. As a result, voters are forced to accept election results for which there will always be doubt about the legitimacy of the final tallies.

In all other computer systems, independent audit must prove the accuracy of both:
--the recording of input data
--the processing results
In voting systems, this means the ballots cast and the final tallies.

Lobby your governmental officials by calling on the telephone and sending letters, emails, and faxes. They run this country for you. Tell them about the issue, ask them what they can do to make sure that if your state uses electronic voting machines, the machines have voter-verifiable capability.
