Easy Voting Fraud Machines

Well, I for one think that this is just another liberal plot to undermine this great country of ours. Look where the study was done. Princeton??? A hotbed of left wingers if there ever was one. First the liberals claim there were no WMD's, then they say Bin Laden is NOT in Iraq, then Dick Cheney shoots some idiot connected with Halliburten, etc., etc.

The entire problem is the left wing press with Fox as a prime example. Did you know that Fox even reported on hurricane Katrina? Its true. Muzzle the press and the voting machines will no longer be a problem. Simple.

I don't see the readily available key is a big problem. Anyone trying to pull this off would have to have skills and resources that could surmount the lock problem without skipping a beat.

The big problem is DiBold, their junk and their political clout.

Some basic security means that the 'paper' (memory card update) must be irrevocable. The memory card is written to only by incrementing a counter. Its only write function must be one that increments the counter. Count cannot be modified and cannot be decremented. The 'paper' also must be serial numbered (internally and electronically) with an encrypted security function so that memory card cannot be swapped. The 'paper' (that memory card) is used just once and then becomes a permanent record of the vote. An 'increment counter once' and 'read many times' nonvolatile memory chip.

Any electronic voting machine that does not contain this essential and minimal security function is flawed - insufficient as a voting machine.

Numerous ways exist to modify and pervert voting records when using a standard non-volatile memory chip/card. Conventional memory is totally unacceptable for vote recording.

Second - the 'paper ballot' must be readable by a completely separate and secure method. Same function performed when using paper and eyes. You can see exactly what is on that 'paper ballot' just before it drops into the ballot box - the 'memory card'. Anything less means voter fraud.

Whatever do you mean? It's not as if the President of Diebold (who also isn't a Republican Pioneer) guaranteed a win in Ohio for Bush in 2004 or anything...
