Digital Age Ballot Integrity and Security
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/02/23/v-print/3250726/the-case-of-the-phantom-ballots.html
In the above-linked story there is a fascinating report on what sounds like programmed-bots trying to gain access to absentee ballots in Miami last year. The sleuthing necessary to make cases in situations like these is digital, and potentially very complex. Vote fraud is a permanent concern in democracies, like burglary, battery or embezzlement. That means prevention techniques and detection tactics must also be permanent, and commitments by law enforcement must reflect the seriousness of the alleged underlying offense. Very well written article by the Herald’s Patricia Mazzei.
