It's funny that a subject so thoroughly put to rest in 2002 is still a subject of constant debate in the blogosphere.

Whoa, really? This is not something I'd heard about previously. Do you have any links where I can learn more?

Not OP, but perhaps they are referring to secure voting systems in general.

Ah, that makes sense, thanks.

I hadn't heard of GNU.FREE despite having an interest in both GNU and voting systems. Doesn't strike me as a great loss really though. As the article mentions, Bruce Schneier makes a solid case against electronic voting systems. [0] If such systems must exist I'd rather they use Free software, but it would be better if electronic voting systems didn't exist in the first place.
