SCARY: Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine Security Analysis

Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine

From the site: "This paper presents a fully independent security study of a Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine, including its hardware and software. We obtained the machine from a private party. Analysis of the machine, in light of real election procedures, shows that it is vulnerable to extremely serious attacks. For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent with the fraudulent vote count it creates."

Then, once you've watched it, write your congressman or senator or something.
