Abstract :
The Florida election fiasco of 2000 has produced thousands of articles about the problems with voting technology, hundreds of ideas how to fix those problems, and one radically different voting system that reasonably can be claimed to be both more secure and less expensive than any other system in existence. Security is obtained not by secrecy, but by extreme openness. Low cost is obtained by basing the system on hardware that is literally free. (This system, if adopted, also would be good for the environment.)
