The GAO has finally released it's report on e-voting: http://reform.house.gov/UploadedFiles/GAO-05-956.pdf
Here's the first paragraph from the "What GAO found" section:
While electronic voting systems hold promise for improving the election process, numerous entities have raised concerns about their security and reliability, citing instances of weak security controls, system design flaws, inadequate system version control, inadequate security testing, incorrect system configuration, poor security management, and vague or incomplete voting system standards (see below for examples). It is important to note that many of these concerns were based on specific system makes and models or a specific jurisdiction’s election, and there is no consensus among election officials and other experts on their pervasiveness. Nevertheless, some have caused problems in elections and therefore merit attention.
And here's some reaction:
I'll try to post my own thoughts here later after reading the report.
