Research by Ariel J. Feldman, J. Alex Halderman, and Edward W. Felten See http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/ for full research, FAQ, and other info. 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. Some Rights Reserved.

Short clip, get the long one from Veredictum at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JxKnlgvlwBY A new study e-voting finds results the midterm elections can not be trusted. The Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University studied the security a popular electronic voting machine by Diebold. Their study, titled "Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine", and found serious security flaws "that undermine the accuracy and credibility of the vote counts". The Center for Information Technology Policy's website has the full report and a comprehensive video demonstration of hacking the Diebold Accuvote-TS voting machine. The following CNN video clip explains why the midterm election result can't be trusted. A second CNN video clip demonstrates how a single hacker could use a virus to infect large numbers of electronic voting machines. more: Picturing Open Source Voting http://milwaukee.indymedia.org/en/2004/06/201316.shtml

REGISTER: www.rockthevote.com www.govoteabsentee.com (out of state, studying abroad, etc.) The electronic voting system which I was refering to is called DieBold. They were informed about the hack flaw in their system and boldly denied and ignored it. Diebold Machines Miscount New Hampshire Primary New Hampshire's 2008 primary election used Diebold "Accu-Vote" machines to scan and count 80% of the votes. These are the same machines that were hacked by the famous Finnish hacker Harri Hursti in "Hacking Democracy". The hand recount of New Hampshire's paper ballots has already revealed unexplained machine miscounts in Hillsborough County, NH Hacking Democracy Information, Diebold Info. http://www.hackingdemocracy.com/

NH's Diebold Accuvote optical scanners were re-approved for use in 2006 by the Ballot Law Commission. Four out of five political appointees voted to approve the machines after they heard four hours of testimony from citizens against the approval. Citizens came bearing scientific reports, like the VSTAAB report, a scientific study done on the technology by a group of experts at U Cal Berkeley and released on Valentines Day 2006. The Commission made their discretionary decision applying no criteria for ensuring the technology they were approving would secure the purity of the vote count. This video shows you what the Commission learned and their vote and rationale for approving the technology.

Princeton Scientists Create Vote-Stealing Program for Diebold AccuVote-TS A paper (and accompanying video) published by a group of Princeton computer scientists said that they created demonstration vote-stealing software that can be installed within a minute on a common electronic voting machine. The software can fraudulently change vote counts without being detected.

In view of the claims that the Diebold (Accuvote TS & OS) machines were "hacked" (?) I'd point out that there would never be any need to do so. 81% of New Hampshire ballots are counted in secret by a private corporation.

Jack Cafferty, on CNN, asks if we still have any confidence in these machines. http://www.cnn.com/CaffertyFile Should electronic voting machines be outlawed, and why? Leave your comments here. Would you make the same choice if you knew a malicious hacker, belonging to the political party you are *not* affiliated with, knew how to alter the outcome? "The Deputy Attorney General says Colorado is safe from any tampering, because the state requires a print-out of each computer ballot." Print-outs like the ones produced by a recent study by Princeton University? http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting OH! And on top of all *that*. Some Diebold machines can be opened with a key commonly used in office equipment and hotel mini-bars: http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1064 "Nationwide, more than 80% of voters will use electronic voting machines in November. One third of all precincts are using this technology for the very first time." He then mentions Maryland's recent "nightmare": http://www.bespacific.com/mt/archives/004823.html http://www.truevotemd.org/ Footage courtesy of: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/09/19/cafferty-should-we-outlaw-e-voting-machines/

In September 2007 Finnish computer security specialist testified to the New Hampshire legislature and the NH Secretary of State. Hursti explained the risks and vulnerabilities of the tamper-friendly Diebold optical scanners counting 81% of New Hampshire ballots. The legislature and the Secretary of State responded to his testimony by doing absolutely nothing.
