Voting Machines Easily Hackable

Interesting (0.00 / 0)

to me was the emphatic statements by the researchers that they were very much pressed for time.  They believed that if they had had more opportunity with the machines they would have found more vulnerabilities.

The short time allocated to this study has several implications.  The key one is that the results presented in this study should be seen as a "lower bound"; all team members felt that they lacked sufficient time to conduct a thorough examination, and consequently may have missed other serious vulnerabilities.  In particular, Abbot's team reporter that it believed it was close to finding several other problems, but stopped in order to prepare and deliver the required reports on time.

So far I've just read the overview (0.00 / 0)

but wow. I really didn't want to be right on this topic. It makes me kind of queasy to know these are the things some of us have been shouting about for quite a long time now, only to be mocked, derided and called conspiratorialists (or whatever the heck it was the UT called us).

One of my biggest hopes in 2006... (0.00 / 0)

for California was electing Debra Bowen.

I am still trying to wrap my brain around why the hell the CTA endorsed McPherson

I am beginning to believe that the most important vote that I cast in the last election was for Secretary of State Debra Bowen.  She is truly living up to her campaaign promises.  Thank you Debra!
