A university that employs a death's head SS Totenkopfverbände cheerleader on its faculty has its own serious issues to consider.
Democrats are deathly afraid of electronic voting precisely because it makes it much morbe difficult to rig votes. That's why you hear this bogeyman in the press all the time.
One oddity. They say the software can delete itself at the end of the day. But they also say it can spread by infecting memory cards.
But if you infect a memory card that is being passed around, how are you going to get the software OFF the memory card to wipe out the trail? All you need is a diebold memory card checker, to run all your cards through at the end of the day. You find malicious software, you know someone is hacking.
Of course, you can't know WHAT they hacked. Oh well.
The real problem is treating the machines differently than unmarked ballots.
Oh, also, you could have a random number of votes entered in each machine at the start of the day -- with it set as a real election. You would then check, and if anything comes up bad you know someone is committing voter fraud.
I would say have one half the machines voted on for a few minutes and check them, then reset those half. Anybody putting software on would have to pick which machines to infect, and then guess whether they are a machine that will be run ONCE, or TWICE (or maybe THREE times), so they know which time to start faking data.
Of course, I presume Diebold simply fixes the software holes to prevent this stuff.
If you allow an individual to have access to ANY voting machine by themselves without supervision, you have made a BIG mistake.
I thought it was illegal to steal voting machines.
