While looking around through one of my daily websites, I found a few surprising links to issues with the electronic voting machines Diebold sells. (I believe our own Jim March is a resident expert on these)
First, understand that these machines are put forth as secure tools to count public voting activity.
The First Article:
"The normal procedure for installing software updates on the machines could not be trusted, because malicious code could cause that procedure to report success, without actually installing any updates."
The Second Article:
"...all it takes to get a Diebold machine to boot a modified, crooked operating system is the flip of a switch, a task that can be accomplished in a brief moment using nothing but a screwdriver."

Hey Jim - any ETA on when these guys might be reduced to selling pinball machines instead of bozo'd items of national security?
