There are an increasing number of papers and threat analyses available on the NIST website, for the workshop they are holding this Friday on voting system threat assessment. While I'm unable to attend what is shaping up to be an important workshop, MIT colleagues Ron Rivest and Ted Selker will be active participants in this workshop. Some of the papers and threat analyses are quite interesting, and as time permits, I'll have comments about some of them soon.

on electronic voting.

NIST's two examples of fraudulent voting (the examples will be viewed by FAR more people than submissions) are:

1. Paper ballot fraud scheme called "chain voting", and
2. a scheme associated with paper trails on electronic machines called "spooled paper"

Thanks NIST for the misleadership.
