M33: Security Problems in Voting Systems in Splash Spring 13 (Apr. 27, 2013)

Curious about the "email voting" hullabaloo after Hurricane Sandy? Did you know that people at Princeton have hacked New Jersey voting machines? We'll examine different voting technologies throughout American history and discuss their security flaws (and other problems). We'll pay special attention to electronic voting machines (such as those used in New Jersey today). You'll get to "hack" different past voting systems and design a way to vote for a high school class government.
