E-voting: a failure of professionalism?

It is generally foolish to predict the future but in this case the odds are with me. This article was written in July 2006 but it will be early December 2006 before it is in print. In the USA a 'mid-term election' was completed in November (three months after this article was written) and I presume most of the recounts from that election should be over by now.
