Of course you have to be someone with a doctorate in computer science to even begin the task, and that's a lot different standard than stuffing a Vota-matic machine in your car trunk.

And if you stick a wire coathanger in the computer running the system you might well be electrocuted.

A CS PhD can be hired for a tiny fraction of what is currently spent to win an election

I've followed Felten for a long time. He's good, but he's no god-like hacker. Many others are capable of this, and in fact his grad students probably did most of the work.

What does that have to do with anything?
