"Man-in-the-Middle" Remote Attack on Diebold Touch-screen Voting Machine by Argonne National Lab
YouTube ^ | Sep 18, 2011 | Argonne National Lab's Vulnerability Assessment Team (VAT)

Posted on 03/06/2016 4:47:34 AM PST by WhiskeyX

A disturbing new attack on a Diebold touch-screen voting system, as created and demonstrated by Argonne National Lab's Vulnerability Assessment Team (VAT). Allows votes to be changed remotely, without requiring any knowledge of, or any change to, the voting system's software. Little more than $10.50 for parts (another $15 for the optional remote control, allowing access from up to half a mile a way), and an 8th grade science lab education is just about all that's needed to change the vote of any voter without detection.

In 2012 Indiana’s SoS decertified a certain voting machine months before the election because it could be manipulated. There is a 200+ report on the details.
Please get hold of it and make it public knowledge

That’s why electronic voting machines were forced upon us, so that, if necessary, they can now control the outcome of our elections. Where’s the outrage?

We’ve been wrestling with voter fraud since at least 2000 with Bush and Gore. It would be nice if the politicians could settle on a methodology for the country which made fraud less likely. But I kind of suspect that the Uniparty likes things the way they are.

I’ve always had the opinion that the electronic voting machines should only be used to generate paper ballots that the voter can inspect prior to be turned in for counting. Counting can then be done by another machine, with appropriate audit controls to ensure that the count matches the ballots.

An election without a paper trail and auditability cannot ever be trusted.

Where I vote in Fort Worth they use something like the old scan-trons. Paper ballot where you fill in the box. Electronic count with a paper ballot for hand recounts. Best of both worlds. For the early voting they had those electronic only machines.

Yep. It’s becoming what Joseph Stalin said, it’s not how many people voted but who counted the votes, another words if you can control the process, you can have whatever outcome you prefer. These electronic voting systems do not make voting more secure, but probably more manipulative.

It’s nobody’s fault but our own.

Without fraud having affected the outcomes of certain elections, so much of our history would be changed for the better. The fact that the damage is so permanent should be disturbing enough that doing more to eliminate it would be an urgent matter...By any means necessary.

Couldn't find the report you are talking about but this site has some very interesting information on it.

That should be a no-brainer. There's NOTHING that's done with technology that can't be hacked. It's incomprehensible that there is no paper trail (and I don't me chad-type ballots).

The other thing is I never realized that there isn't some kind of secret ballot at caucuses. A private voting process is central to our freedoms. What does a caucus do? It starts the presidential selection process with a system where voters are vulnerable to peer and family pressure, and there's no control over local manipulation of voters.

This link is to an article I wrote 10 years ago. Many of the NC names won’t mean anything to you, and several have passed away, but it shows how the fraud is done.

Maybe I should post this on each of these threads.

Voter fraud is nothing. Election fraud is everything. If you don’t see thise, they are fooling you.

At least here in some parts of Gnu Yak we fill out a paper ballot then put it in the scanner...there is a paper trail, but I still miss the old machines, they were built like fortresses and you knew the count was right..

When the feds opened our big old machines during Operation WestVote, they found gears held back with paper clips and rubber bands, teeth chiseled off the gears.

I would like to see purple thumbs, paper ballots, the ballot boxes opened and ballots counted in front of an audience of citizens at the precinct. Monkey business occurs when the ballot boxes are put into someone’s vehicle to be brought to the headquarters for the count.
