The Dems will arrange an easily found hack to give more votes to a Republican who would have won anyway and use it to have the election overturned claiming they were the real winners.

I don't know why some Freepers are discounting this story. There are reams of documentation proving that the electronic voting machines suck. This (should be) is just another nail in the coffin.

This is one area where the average right-wing citizen can find common ground with the average left-wing citizen. I believe the average joe-in-the-street, left or right, wants a fair vote. Average joes on both sides of the aisle should band together and demand voting machines that can't be hacked. Everyone wins.

The same keys also unlock the SS Lockbox.

Afterward, Chris Tengi, a technical staff member, asked to look at the key that came with the voting machine. He noticed an alphanumeric code printed on the key, and remarked that he had a key at home with the same code on it. The next day he brought in his key and sure enough it opened the voting machine.

Chris’s key was left over from a previous job, maybe fifteen years ago. He said the key had opened either a file cabinet or the access panel on an old VAX computer.

"Say there! May I have a look at that key?"
"Sure, have a look."
"Hmmmm.... The alphanumeric code on this key looks familiar. Yes, I remember! I once had a key like that about fifteen years ago."

Case closed.

A more important question: Do hotel minibar keys work on Diebold ATM machines?

[ThomasThomas]

In california all voting machines print a paper copy of how you voted on a roll of paper which unreachable to the voter. Part of verifying your vote is to check this copy. Many of the so called hacks of voting machines require unseen access to the voting machine. They are not on line so direct access is required. What could you do a paper ballot with unseen access. Good old disappering ink used by James West would do the trick.

Cool! I never realized those Diebold keys Karl Rove gave me to distribute his minions on election day would help me score free booze!

Hmmm, an S100 key? A lot of low security containers come with a default key setting. It's up to you and the local locksmith to change it.

Low security containers aren't designed to be particularly difficult to break into, simply (like hotel minibars) to clearly show signs of tampering.
