Diebold voting machines can be hacked by remote control

Exclusive: A laboratory shows how an e-voting machine used by a third of all voters can be easily manipulated

Voting machines used by as many as a quarter of American voters heading to the polls in 2012 can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th grade science education, according to computer science and security experts at the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The experts say the newly developed hack could change voting results while leaving absolutely no trace of the manipulation behind.

"We believe these man-in-the-middle attacks are potentially possible on a wide variety of electronic voting machines," said Roger Johnston, leader of the assessment team "We think we can do similar things on pretty much every electronic voting machine."

Ever hear about that thing where a day or two before the election some guy in georgia found a diskette in a machine that had "win georgia" written on it after an alleged upgrade? There were literally hundreds of articles that incorporated the same excerpt from the original. But I'll darned if I can find EVEN ONE these days.Or last election cycle for that matter either.

Cool I'll pretend you got something...
Hey do I have to address you explicitly as :"pahunky" here? Or is "hunky" or "PA", acceptable to you?
