Dutch researchers have found flaws in electronic voting systems used in the Netherlands, Germany, and France.

A paper published Friday describes flaws in the Nedap / Groenendaal ES3B voting machine, used by 90 percent of voters in the Netherlands. It was written by a team of e-voting researchers, led by Rop Gonggrijp and Willem-Jan Hengeveld, and can be found here.

The paper is hosted on the Web site of the group "Wij vertrouwen stemcomputers niet" (or "We don't trust voting computers") which bills itself as a "coalition of citizens concerned about the use of voting computers during Dutch elections."

The report, based on a month-long investigation into machines that were obtained from municipalities in the Netherlands, describes some serious vulnerabilities in the systems, which are also used in Germany and France, according to the report's authors.

1. Ugh! Haven't they been watching the fiasco across the pond?

Why would any other country want to have anything to do with computer voting.
Awful news.
