Computer Voting Is Open to Easy Fraud, Experts Say
Well, like I said when I did a UI review of the systems, I wasn't getting into the security of the system. Someone else did it instead, with actual information instead of any anecdotal info I have.
Truth be told, I'm not really surprised that it's hackable. How hackable, that's a bit of a shock -- the thing really reaks, using Access as a database and NO paper trail at all.
But the big thing for me is this: if it's so hackable, do election results from such a system become questionable? Questionable enough to challenge election results in court? If so, what happens when not just some, but the *entire* election becomes questionable?
It's an interesting dilemna.
