A team composed of researchers from two U.S. universities and a Canadian university won the $10,000-prize for best voting system at the VoComp contest held in Oregon this week. The winning team was composed of Aleks Essex and Jeremy Clark from the University of Ottawa, Stefan Popoveniuc from George Washington University, and Richard T. Carback III from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Although only four teams submitted systems to the first-time competition, more are expected to submit next year when the competition, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, returns. (Clarification: this year's competition was sponsored by NSF. The foundation hasn't yet committed to sponsoring another one next year, although Election Systems & Software -- the company awarding the $10,000 prize this year -- has committed to fronting the same prize at next year's competition.)
I very plausable option for future elections, though proabably not immediatly. It is also very interesting to think about the possible problems with a computer voting system. I highly reconment this one.

this is a good system for trying to fix flaws especially in electronic voting systems. this perspective allows for many different views on and issue and from this can arise different issues that were not previously thought about. maybe in the future we can develop a perfect and flawless voting system
