Voting System Bakeoff
by Decius at 12:54 pm EDT, Jul 16, 2007

Four teams of researchers from universities in the U.S., Canada, Poland and the United Kingdom begin competing today in Portland, Oregon, to win a prize for the best open-source voting system. The three-day University Voting System Competition, which ends July 18th, is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Some interesting approaches will be demoed here.

And then, likely, promptly ignored by everyone.

Sorry, too cynical?

I really do hope it goes somewhere, but I'm not betting on it.

If anyone is listened to it will likely be the people presenting at this bakeoff. These are fairly prominent people.
