P-Voting Attack

Ampersand describes and Schneier comments on how Ampersand’s mailbox was knocked over on the same day as some ballots were due in the mail. Umm, this “P-Voting” attack – that is, Physical voting – worries me not even a little bit… slightly inefficient if its interest is to change the tide of the election.

Risks like these are interesting because they are so personal, yet the inefficiency is high. I put general network sniffing in this category. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen, though, and for nefarious reasons. Course, it could be that Halloween is right around the corner…
