Don’t be fooled by the self-styled "experts on security." They are just playing on people's fear for their own self-promotion. They claim that their expertise in reading programming codes makes them Oracles on Internet voting security. In fact, they are engaging in very amateurish social science analysis of cyber crime.
Their arguments, and a list of who they are, can be found at: www.verifiedvoting.org/downloads/InternetVotingStatement.pdf
Mature social science thinking about the issues they raise shows that they are fear mongers, bereft of rationality.

Internet voting has the power to make all public officials directly dependent upon the voters. The days of Superrich Domination in US elections are numbered. Internet voting in all US elections is as inevitable today as the rise of the automobile was 100 years ago.

Hi All! I have just posted a draft of my essay on the security of Internet voting. It can be secure! Here is the Abstract: "This paper will present a social science paradigm for critically evaluating the security concerns most often expressed by opponents of Internet voting. In 2003, these concerns were so effectively expressed that they resulted in the US government ceasing all efforts to even experiment with voting from overseas via the new technology. However, when examined within a context of social scientific reasoning, the arguments that stopped the progress of Internet voting in the US appear as mere appeals to fear, bereft of rationality.
First, the problem of how to think about e-crime in general will be discussed. Secondly, the framework that emerges from that discussion will be applied to the arguments against Internet voting. The conclusion will suggest that Internet voting can be conducted with a degree of security similar to an online purchase, a million dollar bank transfer, or a secret military communication. As shown in the essay, the technology already exists, and has been honed over many years of use. While there are differences between the military uses of the Internet, e-commerce, and Internet voting, this paper will argue that the degree of security for each need not vary significantly.
SSRN has proven to be an excellent source for feedback. This paper is being submitted in the hopes of continuing that process." Can anyone suggest an appropriate journal to which I can submit this paper? The paper will soon become a chapter in a book on the subject of reforming presidential elections in the US by basing them on Internet voting. Can anyone suggest an agent or publisher that would be interested in a book that favors Internet voting for such elections? All comments welcome!

E-Verify is a people-hating rightist torture tool.
E-Verify would immediately deprive an innocent Hispanic person, or other human being, who wants to work, from getting hired because of a non-verification of legal residency on a government web site. A person who was born here, and so has no papers, could be refused a job!
Even a person with papers, who did not get “verified” by the government web site could be denied employment. It could take months to correct any mistakes on the government web site.
Claims of “99.6%” accuracy are BS! Sleepy, drunk, stoned, or incompetent government bureaucrats put in the data. They make lots of errors!
E-Verify is guaranteed to cause needless hardship and injustice to the innocent. That is why non-people-hating Congresspersons rejected it today!
Call the following Members of Congress who spoke against E-Verify today, and THANK THEM!
Rep. David Price: (202) 225-1784 Rep. David Obey: (202) 225-3365 Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz: (202) 225-7931
