Contact any local DNC office and they can tell you how to do it

Are they "breaking into" an unguarded system with the help of the secretary of state who will look the other way and pretend no one is trying to hack the system? This could be nothing more than an anti-electronic voting PR stunt aided and abetted by local governments.

I'd trust a machine with an electronic trail a hell of a lot more than a bunch of democrats hauling around boxes of paper ballots.

All we need to do in this country is utilize the voting method of Iraq. Haven't heard any complaints from over there. :)

you heard it here first....

voting should be conducted via ATM'S
1. existing system with proven security track record
2. they are located in 100's of times more location than polling places
3. majority of americans have used the system for years
4. You can choose any to vote in
5. Results would be posted by next business day
6. Negative.... they would still probably charge a damn 2.00 fee

We use a paper ballot system in Canada and an open monitoring system. It works pretty well (although too many damn people vote for the damn Liberals), results are fast, and the open monitoring system (meaning all parties send reps to count the ballots, and citizens can volunteer to also monitor for fairness and accuracy) prevents tampering.

As a matter of logic, the results in this case (assuming the guy is honest about whether he cracks it or not) would be definitive proof that either it's crackable or that it isn't. There really isn't any leeway for "not proven" or "inconclusive" or anything like that.

(Hmmm, maybe we'd better have a couple of people try this independently, from both political parties, that way one guy can't quietly crack it and say that he didn't.)

The stakes are high for Diebold, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of electronic voting systems. The company is trying to get its new voting system approved for use in California, the nation's biggest market, but Secretary of State Bruce McPherson refused certification after 20 percent of the new, printer-equipped voting machines malfunctioned during a July test in San Joaquin County.

I have zero faith in that RINO, Bruce McPherson. Nada. None. Zip.

"The secretary said that performance wasn't good enough,'' Demovic said.

Excuse me, idiot... er, Mr. Demovic, but with a 20% failure rate you needed the SOS to tell you that? With a performance like that, we ought to be sending Diebold a bill for wasting our tax money with the test.

We had the diebold machine for the first time here in our precinct in s. Ohio.

It was OK.

There was a separate paper ballot printed, but it did not spit out of the machine, but was internal to the machine. One can lift a door to look at it before it gets scrolled to a central roll of paper, but there's no prompt on the screen to open that door to check the accuracy of the paper ballot.

I missed it when I hit an advance button.

I'm hoping that the scrolled roll of paper is what gets counted and not some communication between the machine I voted on and some central counting location, but I really don't know.

I'd like those objections cleared up before I'm ready to give it a clean bill of health.

Bev Harris is just $10 away from cracking into those machines.
