How easy is it to hardware hack a Voting Machine?

The answer: Easy.

This is a very interesting piece that I came across today regarding our current state of voting machines here in the states.  Apparently Diebold still hasn't learned from their ATM mistakes of years past (remember the cash door that could be lifted just enough to retrieve your money, but not trip the switch?).

Cracking a Diebold
“A couple of untrained 54-year old women from Black Box Voting bought $12 worth of tools and in four minutes penetrated the memory card seals, removed, replaced the memory card, and sealed it all up again without leaving a trace.”

Many thanks to the continued great work on Bev Harris’ Black Box Voting site.  Donate some cash today, they'll appreciate it and so will I.
