A study conducted by a researcher in France has uncovered that polling locations which
use electronic voting machines exhibit a higher number of discrepancies than those using
conventional paper ballots. Unsurprising to those who have followed the problems
plaguing e-voting since its introduction, the revelation has fueled renewed calls for greater
scrutiny of electronic voting technology in France.
The study was conducted at over 21,000 polling stations by comparing electoral registers,
which voters sign after voting, with the total vote counts from machines and paper ballots
in several elections. Discrepancies were found at almost 30 percent of polling stations
that use electronic machines and only at about 5 percent of those using paper ballots.
Based on the results, the researcher believes that broader studies are needed to
determine the scope of the pattern and the reasons for the discrepancies. The root cause
is thought to be technical rather than a result of widespread operator error because the
margin of discrepancies increased in later elections when voters were already familiar
with the systems.

The younger Wiesner said, with some justification, that the voting
machines used in Germany are even less secure than mobile
phones.

Scotland: serious
technical failures
May 4, 2007--A major and urgent investigation was launched today into
the electronic voting failures which disrupted the Scottish Parliament
elections.
A spokesman said: "We share the public's concern about the high
number of rejected ballot papers."
Causes inherent to
complex technologies
Software bugs
Hardware problems (e.g., alignment, calibration
issues)
Environmental stresses
Poor or flawed design
Human error (election officials, technicians,
operators, voters)
Malicious tampering (esp. “inside jobs”)

The initial reports indicated that the cause of the crash may have been
the unusual failure of both engines on the small plane.
