U of O guest speaker talks about electronic voting

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - Will electronic voting make U.S. elections more accurate and fair?

A guest speaker at the University of Oregon may make Oregon voters embrace their by-mail ballots a little longer -- especially in a year when the state's primary may be important.

Barbara Simons is a computer scientist who served on a national panel that reviewed electronic voting. She also scrutinized security concerns.

She will speak about progress and technical problems involving electronic voting methods at 7 p.m. on Thursday, (March 13) in Room 110 of the William W. Knight Law Center on 1515 Agate St.
