1. Comment - Three E-Voting Systems Susceptible to Attack, California Team Finds

   (Aug 1, 2007 - 12:42 PM)

   What this article did not state is that the people who run local elections usually consist of one or two people and then a large group of volunteers. The election officials want to get the equipment to the polls, have it easily set up -- usually by volunteers, and run correctly. There's usually no local election budget for multiple system admins to set up and configure these machines so that they are properly locked down with all of the latest and greatest Microsoft patches to ensure security. These votiing machine companies know how insecure the Microsoft OS is and chose it as their base operating system requardless of those insecurities. That was a stratigic error on their part. Any State that is going to take the election process seriously will not and should not allow any voting machine that can be compromised and that doesn't generate paper verification of the votes that were cast.
