Evoting security specified in California

The California State Senate has passed a law specifying minimum security requirement for electronic voting machines, including a ban on linking the machines to the Internet. This may well be a sensible interim measure, depending on the specific security problems at issue in California but although I have serious concerns about previous and planned design, regulation and deployment of electonic voting machines all round the world, I'm not sure a ban on connecting them to the Net will be sustainable or sensible in the longer term.
