There is a powerful regional group called the Commitee of Seventy which claims that: "Seventy cares very deeply about educating citizens, protecting their voting rights and driving up voter participation – all of which are the foundation of better government." Yet they have a number of articles on their website supporting electronic voting with such howlers as "Since votes are computed electronically, their reliability is beyond dispute": http://www.seventy.org/nycu/1998/electric.html They also offer a detailed refutation of the value of a paper audit trail: http://www.seventy.org/nycu/2004/ThePaperTrail.html From the outside it is impossible to determine if they are simply tragically misinformed or ... The misinformation being spread by this group is detrimental to the cause of honest and transparent elections in my region. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance!
