  1. Internet Voting Due Process Through Subroutine By: Aaron Weiner

  2. How Do We Vote? Infamous Butterfly Ballot: Gore on the Floor Voting Booth: note dim lights, ease of mistakes, unctuous plastic case

  3. But haven’t I already done this? • Some of you believe you’ve already voted on the Internet. You would be wrong. • The most computerized form of voting in widespread use is touch screen voting • A whopping 7.7% of districts used this technology in 2000 = 2 people in this class

  4. Types Of Internet Voting • Poll Site Voting: Same, But Improved • Kiosk Voting: Do you want fries with that? • Remote site Internet voting: pajama time

  5. Poll Site Voting Touch Screen Voting in Morris County, NJ • Less safe than electronic poll site voting • Probable better poll results • Little advantage to the voter

  6. Pros And Cons of Poll Site Booths Pros Cons Votes go directly to election board Little additional convenience for voter Instant recounts Over-enthusiasm Possible Interference with Booth Net voting so uncertain, baby steps are necessary

  7. Kiosk Voting Executive kiosk by Meridian Kiosks You may not realize it, but you’ve probably used a kiosk several times before: Automatic teller machines are kiosks. So are ticket machines. Kiosks are the next logical step after poll site attempts are proven safe

  8. The Voting Booth, new at J. C. Penney’s. Where could you put a kiosk booth? Absolutely anywhere you can link a modem. Is electioneering in a supermarket legal?

  9. The Pinnacle: Remote Site Internet Voting Your, er, average voter after voting on-line Biggest concern: security After that: implementation? Can votes be secure if the government knows the source?

  10. It’s already here! • Remote Internet voting is so viable, it’s already been tried by the Department of Defense. -Source-Center for Public Integrity And thankfully for the taxpayers, it didn’t cost them much. Eighty-four military personnel voted in the last election for the low price of: 6.2 Million Dollars, just $73,809 per vote!

  11. Remote Voting is Far In the Future This election had a runaway result One person could stop an election. DOS Attacks: Denial of Service Greek Sneak Attack: Trojan Horse Still issues with poll site voting

  12. Consequences of Internet Voting If Successful If Unsuccessful Poll site: Jumping-off place Poll site: disaster Kiosk: Powerful tool Kiosks: Buying votes, vote robbers Remote Site: Convenient Remote site: Utter disaster

  13. Unforeseen Benefit: Due Process • In the last election, at least 4,000,000 people’s votes were discounted. -Source-MIT study Many of these people were disenfranchised because of their race or language. That’s ridiculous in this day and age. Neither electronic nor Internet voting watches the voter to see their color, and can be adjusted for language easily.

  14. Ay, there’s the rub. All of this may sound wonderful. However: • We have yet to establish a reliable electronic system • Electronic votes had a higher rate of residual votes • Paper and lever votes were most reliable • Electronic machines: auditing impossible? • Internet voting: auditing impossible.

  15. Conclusion: • Internet voting completely ridiculous at this point • Voting in pajamas silly pipedream, passionless voting and completely unsafe • Internet voting inevitable result of society, remote site voting will some day lead to disaster. • BUT: a reliable electronic system means Internet voting is not far away from reality.
