Associate Professor of Computer Science at Rice University
Position:
Con to the question "Do electronic voting machines improve the voting process?"
Reasoning:
"I have come to the conclusion that paperless electronic voting systems, also called 'direct recording electronic' or 'DRE' systems, are fundamentally insecure and do not provide sufficient protections against the sorts of fraudulent behavior that have been historically used to manipulate the outcomes of elections in the U.S."
