E-voting predicament: Not-so-secret ballots

Cnet's article, "E-voting predicament: Not-so-secret ballots," discusses how it is possible to link voting place sign-in logs with paper trails from voting computers and determine with reasonable accuracy how people voted. TRUST's David Wagner is quoted as saying:

"This summer I learned that Diebold's AV-TSX touchscreen voting machine stores a time stamp showing the time which each vote was cast--down to the millisecond--along with the electronic record of that vote," Wagner said in an e-mail message. "In particular, we discovered this as part of the California top-to-bottom review and reported it in our public report on the Diebold voting system. However, I had no idea that this kind of information was available to the public as a public record."
