The smart card is like a credit card that the voter inserts into the Diebold voting machine and it enables the voter to cast the vote. The vote is then tabulated electronically in the machine itsel.
So whomever has the cards, can cast as many votes as they have cards!
I am assuming that they can change the codes.
"Not good!! Whomever has those cards can electronically stuff the ballot box.

I'm not familar w these type of voting machines. Maybe they'll give some of the cards to ACORN members who will vote in place of some of these folks:

A number of metro area people were not too happy Thursday evening after discovering their names and addresses printed in a local paper.
The Tennessee Tribune published hundreds of names and addresses of people who did not vote in the August primary, the last election.
Silas Allen, 65, said it came as a shock. He had no idea his name was printed in the weekly paper that focuses on issues in the African-American community. He wasn't too pleased.

Don't the cards have to be "activated?"
When I go to my electronic voting precinct, I check in with photo id and voter card. Then the poll worker takes a smart card, puts it in a little machine, activating it, and then I can vote with it.
After I've cast my vote, I discard the smart card in a bin, and I'm supposing they are recycled for the next group of voters.
I don't know the technology, but it looks to me like they have to insert it in that machine before I can vote with it.
Seems to me they can recode the machines to prevent this now that they know the cards are missing.
