“The test was initiated by Bowen to try to crack the voting system, hoping to reveal any holes or leaks. The team was given full access to the machine’s source codes and manuals, which some argue would be extremely difficult for the average hacker to get their hands on.

During the tests there were able to access the internal components of the machine by unscrewing screws. They were also able to load on malicious firmware which they could use to manipulate election results and access election management systems.”

From the article. With this kind of access I could hack ANY system thats ever been created. yes even an Apple. This study is a complete fraud designed to undermine popular support for electronic voting. It has no basis on reality.

Using this same standard for paper ballots I would be able to print my own ballots and stuff the ballot boxes.

The tests repeatedly show vulnerabilities to hacking,
and the machines aren’t, in practice, kept in even
remotely secure conditions.

They’re also extremely unreliable.

Do you know what a MTBF is?
