Help Vote This Down. Guy pushing internet voting at OpenGov
Help out by voting this guy down, will you? He has NO credentials in computers or internet
security. This is his second article on Open Gov about this. People slammed him down on his first one. I guess he thinks his PHD makes him an expert on everything. Check out his idiocy:

INTERNET VOTING IS COMING!
William J. Kelleher, Ph.D.


Vote Accepted
-8
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.

The paper is available for free viewing or download at:

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.

William J. Kelleher, Ph.D.
Bing me!

Why Is This Idea Important?
Misinformation about the security of online voting dominates public opinion today. Internet voting can be as safe and secure and private as a book purchase, a bank transfer, or a secret military communication. It can also be free of voter fraud and perfectly accurate. THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THE TRUTH!
