Electronic Elections: The Perils and Promises of Digital Democracy By R. Michael Alvarez
Publisher: Princeton University Press 2008 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0691125171 | PDF | 1 MB

Recent debates about voting technology and election reform have generated more heat than light, often leading to myopic views of security and premature policy fixes. Alvarez and Hall provide a constructive alternative–a calm, rational, data-tested, risk-based analysis of electronic voting. Their book is a model of how rigorous research can constructively inform public discussion and the policy process.
