The Register - All Internet voting is insecure: "'The flaws are unsolvable because they are fundamental to the architecture of the Internet,' said David Wagner, assistant professor of computer science at UC Berkeley. 'Because the danger of successful large-scale attacks is so great, we reluctantly recommend shutting down the development of SERVE and not attempting anything like it in the future until both the Internet and the world's home computer infrastructure have been fundamentally redesigned, or some other unforeseen security breakthroughs appear, states the report. There is no way to plug the security vulnerabilities inherent in the SERVE on-line voting design, according to the report's authors. "
