In 1986, the California Attorney General's office released a report criticizing computerized vote-counting systems for "lacking a reliable audit trail and having a program structure that is very difficult even for computer professionals to understand." In 88, the National Bureau of Standards(now called the National Institute of Standards and Technology) released a study by computer scientist Roy G. Saltman that concluded, in the typically understated language of government documents,that "it has been clearly shown that audit trails that document election results, as well as general practices to assure accuracy, integrity, and security, can be significantly improved."
