Abstract
Several United States sites call themselves "the cradle of liberty," owing to their importance during the revolutionary war, and the appellation is sometimes extended to the US as a whole. However, when it comes to advancing the technology of democracy\´s cornerstone - voting - the US is falling far behind the United Kingdom, continental Europe, and Australia. Vendors, officials, and standards groups in those regions are leading the way toward the technological and political infrastructure that can make the peoples\´ voices more easily heard and counted
