Unless they unloaded the firmware as well, the corrupted code should be able to detect (match the images, you won’t know WHAT was changed but the bits won’t be the same).
Yang Enterprises has a home office in China and is a US Gov contractor so you may want this for a China ping.
Been going on for a looooong time.

Michael O’Quinn, an attorney for Yang Enterprises, said Curtis’ claims are outrageous and that Feeney never discussed such a program with the company. He said Feeney’s only relationship with the company was as its legal counsel. Feeney worked at the law firm with O’Quinn until 2002, when he resigned after being elected to Congress.“I immediately assumed that he was trying to keep you guys from cheating,” Curtis told Democrats at the hearing Monday. Curtis further said that Li Woan Yang, a co-owner of the company, told him that, “We need to hide the fraud in the source code, not reveal the fraud, because it’s needed to control the vote in South Florida.”
Curtis, who formerly lived in Oviedo, quit the software company in December 2000, after the November 2000 election that preceded Feeney rise to become speaker of the Florida House.
“I left because all of the meetings with Feeney let me know I wasn’t in a situation I wanted to be in,” he said in an interview with the Chronicle. “He’s in there selling contracts, telling us how to bid them, special little formulas being employed, how you get right point structure. They were going to limit how many vendors could apply to government contracts so only connected vendors could get on the approved list.”
O’Quinn confirmed that Curtis resigned, but said he told the company he got a job in another state. Curtis ended up working for the Florida Department of Transportation. O’Quinn also disputed the allegation that Feeney helped work on government bids, saying Feeney was careful to avoid such work because of ethics rules. Feeney “played no role whatsoever” in helping Yang secure government contracts, O’Quinn said. The company currently does work for NASA, the state Department of Transportation and other companies.
Yang Enterprises, in a statement released to the public, said Curtis’ allegations are “categorically untrue.”
Democrats and independent groups are challenging presidential election results in Ohio, and have claimed that irregularities in some precinct results might have been caused by tampering with electronic voting machines.
Curtis said he has been trying to get attention drawn to his claims since shortly after leaving Yang Enterprises, but has had difficulty until this year. After watching a news report about voting machines in Florida being installed at precincts without having their software inspected, he said he redoubled his effort to get public attention.
“People finally care,” Curtis told the Chronicle. “Coming forward isn’t the problem, it’s people caring.”
The Democrats are listening, as is a non-partisan government watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The group, which began working with Curtis in early December, is working to verify elements of his story.
Curtis says he is also working with the FBI to investigate another claim he has made against Yang, that the company is spying on NASA. In its response, the company said that the man named by Curtis as the recipient of NASA-related information has never worked for the company.
lol
ruh-roh!
This is a total crock, it’s all hearsay and the guy offers no proof whatsoever.
Either that, or on the basis of what he said about exit polls, they should start investigating New Hampshire straight away.
We use the old fill in the circle paper ballots here and I feel pretty good about them.
Maybe; but I’m more interested in Yang Enterprises. They still seem to be a gov contractor.
We don’t even get a paper receipt of our vote!
They don’t want a paper trail.
Curtis is certifiable. He left Yang to work for the state of Florida and got fired from there. He ran against Feeney in the last election (ya, no conflict of interest with his allegations, hmm?) lost big, and says he will run again.
The guy is an icon to the DUmmie left. I have no doubt this is being rehashed again NOW because this dumbass is going to run again this year.
“Whether it was ever used is another story altogether. Just because exit data doesn’t match results is no reason to assume fraud.”
It was asked if conversely the exit data could be manipulated. He said “Yes” but then they moved on.
This guy’s full of sh*t.
So, China feeds campaign money to the Clinton’s and as a back-up since money can’t buy votes in America, Yang enterprises rig our vote machines and spies on NASA.
What’s not to believe?
“tried” does not mean “did”.
Nice work, Cal.
Democrats don’t care about winning elections. They are interested in controlling the public’s perceptions. So they throw the concept of elections into question.
One of our nation’s greatest traditions was the PEACEFUL transfer of power from one party/administration to another. The modern Democrat party sows the seeds of discontent and doubt.
