Computer security specialists have issued a new report strongly criticizing a new Pentagon program to allow overseas voters to vote on the Internet in the 2004 presidential election. According to the Washington Post, the report urged the Pentagon to immediately halt plans to launch the program because it was so insecure it could be hacked and undermine the election. Computer scientist Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University said “History has shown that when people have the opportunity to tamper with an election they do.” The Pentagon says it has no plans to stop the program.
