        dans, didnt you do a research paper on this?
        Too bad your not sited. -mrauser
        \_ I did write a paper on this (more like a treatise at its final
           length), but never managed to publish due to academic politics.
           Basically, one of the researchers I cited extensively has a fairly
           draconian policy on his/her website regarding the use/reference of
           his/her work.  I inquired with the individual and initially
           received a very positive response, but s/he then dropped off of the
           face of the earth.  I suspect the policy is aimed toward
           journalists, not academics, but since I'm not very familiar with
           the academic publishing world, I didn't want to ruffle any
           feathers.  Perhaps more importantly, my paper was fairly specific
           to web based voting systems, with an emphasis on Berkeley's
           implementation at the time.  I also get the sense that this was a
           hot issue in 2004, and thus, many more well known and reputed
           researchers were publishing on the topic at the time so being some
           random undergrad (even from Berkeley) probably didn't help much.
           Not publishing was unfortunate.  That said, I really don't regret
           it.  I had fun writing the paper, and received some credits I
           needed toward graduation. -dans
