Hi all,

Could anyone with knowledge, insight and/or time to research help me figure out HOW and at WHAT POINT (WHERE), hypothetically, would you hack into an AVC Edge voting machine by Sequioa. All scenarios are welcome.

Here is a quote and an article to start with: "In fact, the system uses WinEDS, or Election Database System for Windows. WinEDS runs on top of the Microsoft Windows operating system. According to Sequoia, "WinEDS is used to administer all phases of the election cycle, create electronic ballots for the AVC Edge, and tally early voting, as well as official election and absentee votes." http://www.onlinesecurity.com/links/links692.php

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I remember punch cards and eight inch floppy disks; since then hardcore computer technology has gotten a little out of my grasp. ;) Even links would be nice. :)

Thanks! :) :) - G
