OT: But software related
« on: January 27, 2007, 03:16:45 PM »
As many of you know many localities are switching to electronic voting machines produced by Diebold. Got a forwarded message fro RHP today and followed a few of the links to one that worked fine on my machine. It's supposedly a demonstration of a Diebold TS voting machine, obviously running some form of windows, at least it appears to have many of the security flaw built into some Windows OSs. wallbash.gif

I found that our county elections board is using a slightly different ( and possibly newer ) Diebold system ( TSX, hopefully never to be confuse with our great forum! ) but asked if they could, in any way, guarantee that 'our' machines are more secure than those demonstrated in this link: <Princenton Diebold TS Security problems.>

Note that there are several assumptions made in the Princeton 'study'; a person or persons have at least some private access to the machines andthe machines don't seem to be turned off after being corrupted. There may be more that I missed.

Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system
