Gambling on Elections

Which do you think is better protected against fraud: Las Vegas slot machines or electronic voting machines?

To no one's surprise, I'm sure, the answer is Las Vegas slot machines.

This gives me an opportunity to highlight the work of Verified Voting, an organization dedicated to verifiable elections. Election fraud has a long and storied history, but electronic voting machines can dramatically increase the risk.

(Disclaimer: Verified Voting was founded by David Dill, a Stanford computer science professor and a friend of mine, and I have donated money to both the lobbying arm and the education arm.)
