A report released Tuesday by the Task Force on Voting System Security concludes that electronic voting technology currently in use have flaws, and although they are easily fixable, too few election officials are following through.
The task force also said that a paper trail is ineffective if routine audits through random checks are not performed. Other recommendations included banning wireless technology and checking random machines the same day they are used.
Task force chairman Larry Norden says, "We're not talking about dramatic restructuring of the architecture. We're talking about straightforward things, most of which could be in place for the 2006 elections."
