DIY: Steal a US Election?

Postby friendlyskies » Sun Sep 17, 2006 2:20 pm

Did you all see that Princeton U has released a study that says Diebold voting machines are relatively easy to hack, making it simple to steal a US election?

There's also a 9+ minute video on YouTube detailing the study:

Too boring? Someone summarized the video on the unabashedly biased liberal website www.michaelmoore.com:

Researchers at Princeton's Center for Information Technology released a study which demonstrated vulnerabilities in Diebold's electronic voting machines. Essentially, it's very much possible for someone to steal an election through a Diebold machine IN UNDER A MINUTE.

Anyone with physical access to the machine (e.g., such as election workers who have unsupervised access to the machines before elections) can put in malicious software to steal votes. All they have to do is open up the machine with a key (or pick the lock), remove the old memory card, stick in their own memory card, boot the machine, and it will automatically install any software that was on the memory card.

At the end of the demonstration election, the poll machine prints out the incorrect "stolen election" result. The internal memory card also stores in the incorrect result. Every piece of evidence of how the election actually went reflects the "wrong" result. And, after the election is over, the vote stealing software can delete itself. There's no evidence left that the vote has been conducted incorrectly.

There's even a flaw in Diebold machines that allow a virus to spread from machine to machine, infecting a memory card and using it to spread to other machines.


Hmmmmmm....

Ne govenor Ben Nelson was CEO of Diebold. Like a game of chess, each move brings us closer to check mate.

I knew there was no way the Democrats were able to win so decisively in a legitimate election in 06.
