They need to offer a $100,000 reward contest. Reward divided by all who are able to crack the system in 24 hours. This would be done in a controled environment, say in a wharehouse with the hackers being monitored and observed. Then use the results to shut down all manner of exploits used. Might need to run several of these contests.
When there is a set where no one is able to crack the system, then up the prize to $200,000 only paid to the first person to crack.

Security isn't a matter of patching known holes, it should be a matter of design. If you design a system correctly, you won't have a bunch of holes to patch.
Remember, if there's X number of known holes, you have to assume there are X+1 actual holes.

Let's say that instead of the unemployed hacker living in his mother's basement, it is you that figured it all out and could form any outome you wanted through creative hacking. This machine is used in primaries and in the general election. As a corrupt demoncat would you reveal the backdoor for a measly $100,000 when you could auction off any election for millions? How about if you were a patriot who felt the ends justified the means and you made it impossible for a demoncat or leftist to win and instead a bunch or Ron Paul like characters could be elected? Would you throw away that power for $100,000? If you were able to decide elections, at what price would you put on that ability?
As for me, the bidding starts in the billions.
