The Pentagon has decided to scrap an Internet-based electronic voting system intended to serve military personnel and overseas citizens in the fall elections. A security audit report cited and agreed with general security problems with e-voting systems, and found that with the Internet-based "Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE)," the problems were exacerbated.
The report was careful to praise the efforts of the government contractor that attempted to build a secure system. The full report is online: "A Security Analysis of the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment."
Thanks to Sabrina Pacifica for the heads up on this report. beSpacific: E-Voting System Scrapped by Pentagon.
