> You might be surprised that that "Luddite" response is actually the consensus opinion among experts familiar with electronic voting technology. I don't know if it is the consensus opinion among experts, but it certainly wasn't the opinion Schneier expressed in that article. Granted, he had strong words to say about the voting machines used in the US. And justifiably so. They are just plain horrible, they've been known to be horrible for years if not decades now and I find it hard to understand why the most sophisticated and wealthy places on the planet continue to use them. Particularly as we have known how to do it right for almost as long as they have been in use. To Schneier's credit he does explain how electronic voting can be done securely in the article. Which makes your comment all the more puzzling.
