E-voting Machines: NIST To Decertify

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a report recommending that the federal Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines for 2007 (VVSG 2007) be revised to decertify touchscreen electronic voting machines, also called direct-recording electronic (DRE) machines. In a nutshell, the report argues that because DREs cannot be properly audited absent a voter-verifiable paper trail (VVPAT), they shouldn’t be certified for use in elections.

I could just hug everyone at NIST right now.
