There is a good article Alan Sherman’s electronic voting research in last week’s Catonsville Times and also in the Arbutus Times. The hardcopy versions have a very good picture of him in front of the UMBC Pond. I think that Alan’s position on the current problems with voting systems in the US and what to do about them is very pragmatic. The Punchscan system that Alan and his students are collaborating on looks very interesting, as is the VoComp competition and conference.
