It's a good book. I love the quote about "electronic voting being crack for conspiracy theorists". But the conclusion is correct: Electronic voting cannot preserve voter privacy or ensure the public vote count. So it shouldn't be used. Note that Rubin also worked on the SERVE project for the DoD, reaching the same conclusion. But the money people keep the dream alive.
