Security experts give e-voting thumbs down

Let's look at this the other way.: From the bottom of the article to the top.

1. "Alvarez, who has a contract from the Defense Department to evaluate the SERVE experiment, said it's too early to pass judgment on the program."

2. '"The SERVE system is the best one that I have seen to date," said Michael Alvarez, a professor of political science'
---Political Science---?

3. "...four of the 10 security researchers who analyzed the planned system at the request of the Federal Voting Assistance Program...The six other members believed the system could work"
---40% of the people say they don't like it. The other 60% do. What are the qualifications of the other 60%?

4. "Four computer security experts have warned proponents of Internet voting that such systems cannot be secured against fraud."
