DangerousMission rated 12 months ago- I don't understand why we don't just vote for the presidency of the united states like we do for the winner of American Idol: We call or text message as many times as we want, and get charged 1.99 per vote. It's a far more efficient system, and we could have a tax surplus every four years.

- Computers let us make mistakes faster than ever! And if someone were to "make mistakes" on thousands of paper ballots, that would at least provide the time for them to get caught. ;)

- Its not a matter of how easy or hard it is to bypass the security. Voting machines should be full proof. PERIOD. Shit it only has one task, Count Votes. The machines and the software should be open to the public for everyone to examine.

- Demonstration Video. "Abstract This paper presents a fully independent security study of a Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine, including its hardware and software. We obtained the machine from a private party. Analysis of the machine, in light of real election procedures, shows that it is vulnerable to extremely serious attacks. For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent with the fraudulent vote count it creates. An attacker could also create malicious code that spreads automatically and silently from machine to machine during normal election activities -- a voting-machine virus. We have constructed working demonstrations of these attacks in our lab. Mitigating these threats will require changes to the voting machine's hardware and software and the adoption of more rigorous election procedures."

- Princeton analyzes the Diebold AccuVote Machine for potential election-day problems. Conclusion: "Analysis of the machine, in light of real election procedures, shows that it is vulnerable to extremely serious attacks."

My bank just installed new automatic tellers with the name "Diebold" on them. Can ATM's be corrupted as readily as voting machines?

Don't forget to vote on 7 November, folks. Then, after voting, ask yourself how sure you are that your vote will be counted. Thanks AuroraBee for getting me to find this one.
