I doubt Brazil is ever going back to paper voting. With that said, human vote counting is exploitable/error-prone, too, and electronic vote counting instead of electronic voting seems like it'd have the same issues the voting machine has.
The solution is clear to me, make it open-source, give bounties for issue-fixing. If the current software is crap hire RSA and/or some nice software shop to refactor and audit it, then open-source it.
- specialist 12y agoAll systems are fallible. Assess the relative risks by comparing their attack surface areas. Paper ballots issued, cast, and counted per precinct, the night of the election is the most robust system existent. Compared to any other system, corruption would require more participants, increasing the cost, difficulty, and risk of detection. Further, it also enables verifying the physical chain of custody, which is very, very difficult with electronic systems. RSA? Why would I trust them?
