" AUGUST 06, 2004  (COMPUTERWORLD)  -  Security experts are  
substantially more skeptical about e-voting than the public, but their  
greatest worry is system and programming errors, not malicious hacker  
attacks, according to a survey released this week by the Ponemon  
Institute.

 The study, conducted in July and early August, aimed to measure public  
opinion about electronic voting systems and then compare the results  
with those of security experts -- both IT pros and hackers."
