Re-Vote Likely After E-Vote Data Mishandling

davecb writes "A California judge is likely to order a Berkeley city initiative back on the ballot because of local officials' mishandling of electronic voting machine data. A recount was not possible because the city failed to share necessary voting records, a violation of election laws. In a preliminary ruling Thursday, Judge Winifred Smith of the Alameda County Superior Court indicated she would nullify the defeat of a medical marijuana proposal in Berkeley in 2004 and order the measure put back on the ballot in a later election."

For some reason the turn-out of pro voters was unexpectedly low.

True Random Number Generator Goes Online..Hmmm

[AmigaHeretic]

If we combine this article with the previous article and hook the E-Voting machine up with the new Online Random Number generator maybe we'd have a better luck a selecting "elected" officials. Lord knows it seems like the public can't do it right. Just a thought I had seeing the articles right next to each other.

Or maybe that's how the E-Voting machines already work? :)
