I-Voting: A Breakthrough Is Needed

Otherwise the huge challenge persists. The "American Idol" model does not involve a secret ballot, but social discourse on I-voting is important.

 The UMI professor said that in the fall he will offer an online, noncredit course via COURSERA. Five thousand students have already signed up for it.

To obtain the security we need for I-voting, said Masterson, we need a DoD-level budget to finance DoD-level security [which has already been compromised].

 Toregas, as a sociologist, disagreed. As Generation Xers, his children have an entirely different value set, he said. They want quick results: all should vote at the lowest possible cost.

 The social structure is evolving; solutions should therefore reflect new generations' values as well as ours.
