nice Shanrick, what an appropriate place for a Rickroll

Ugh, shanrick you're perpetuating that lame old myth again? snopes (new window) has already debunked that hawaiivotes site as nothing but tinfoil hattery.

This seems like an appropriate thread to post this video of Rick Astley's video for his song "Never Gonna Give You Up".

I wish my town council had such a nice platform built on reliabilty. They always let me down and lift our fair town up. Color me jealous.

What I meant to say.

Funny, funny stuff.

Shanrick, you moron.

You know who else (new window) perpetuated those old myths?

Reverse Rickroll'd

Yeah, I don't see how that can be sufficiently secure.

Were Mom-jeans on guys an 80's thing? I don't remember that..

/yes, old enough to have seen the vid 1st time around.

That is strangely hypnotic. What song is that originally from?

black_knight: "If elected Mayor, I will never give you up and I will never let you down!"

But will you run around, will you desert me?

anyone else remember thanksgiving last year?

It's supposed to be this, dumbass.

\Yes, I have been drinking.

How do they know who voted and voted only once?

Seems like wide open to fraud.

Also, the game.

cchris_39: How do they know who voted and voted only once?

well the voted once is easy, but who is actaully entering it, that is harder. on that note though, a lot of places only require a voter registration card to vote. not something hard to get, just put a pin on the card and you make it harder to cheat.

For some reason, when I read honolulus all lower case like that, I read it as humunculuus.

*shudders*

black_knight: "If elected Mayor, I will never give you up and I will never let you down!"

haha :D

FTFA: Before the first day of balloting, voters living in 22 neighborhood board districts with contested races received a passcode that, along with the last four digits of their Social Security number, gave them access to an election Web site created by Everyone Counts.

I suppose if you stole passcodes and SSN's from other people, since they're keyed together--you could commit fraud. But it would be a lot easier to fraudout a mail-ballot election, and both they and Oregon have already been doing those elections for awhile.

My vote is for Bubb Rubb

neva gona give neva gona give

a hitler rickroll?

Somacandra: But it would be a lot easier to fraudout a mail-ballot election, and both they and Oregon have already been doing those elections for awhile.

Please. There are so many ways to attack that it's not even funny. The simplest solution is to phish or DNS cache poison to get people to enter their passcode on your fraudulent site, and then your automated crawler can run around and vote how you like.

It's muuuuch easier than mail fraud- I wouldn't even have to put on pants!

How about reading TFA

Steele said the computer codes in her firm's system are available for auditing, and that each completed ballot is heavily encrypted, as is the overall system. The process is more secure than that used in Internet banking, she added.

NotARocketScientist: The process is more secure than that used in Internet banking, she added.

Patently false. There's nothing discussed in the article explaining how the site proves to you that it's a legitimate voting site, and not a fake.

Uh, wow, I listened to that for way too long. What the hell is that?

For what it's worth, the only reason most of the people here even know about these elections are because they're being used as a guinea pig to test the idea of online voting; 90% of the people in the City and County of Honolulu don't care about the neighborhood boards, assuming they know they exist.

Hell, election turnout last year (even with local boy Barack Obama running for President) was only 66% among those who registered.

Terrified Asexual Forcemeat: Also, the game.

This is the second time I've lost in as many days.

DNRTFAOT

musashi1600: Hell, election turnout last year (even with local boy Barack Obama running for President) was only 66% among those who registered.

A little fraud is a good way to get those numbers up. It should be like Texas, in the 60s, where 110% of registered voters made it to the polls.

Hmmmmmmm, I live in Honolulu and never heard anything about this. Guess I should pay attention.......nah.........

That's what SSL is for. Go ahead and poison my DNS - if you don't walk up the cert chain, you go to hell and you die.

sseye: That's what SSL is for. Go ahead and poison my DNS - if you don't walk up the cert chain, you go to hell and you die.

...you're assuming that everyone would actually CHECK those certificates and/or not just click through any warnings from their browser...dubious assumptions.

He will never forgive me, but.

I don't give a fark.

The Deep Sunshine voting bloc demands a recount! (pops)

That's the worst cover I've ever heard of any song. And my sixteen-year-old brother plays in a band with his other sixteen-year-old friends.

I find it shockingly ironic that the same people who don't trust electronic voting machines because they don't like the results of an election, the same people who are vehemently against actually having to show ID to vote, are all in favor of: An electronic voting system that requires a special ID to vote.
