Most vote machines lose test to hackers

John Wildermuth, Chronicle Staff Writer
Saturday, July 28, 2007

State-sanctioned teams of computer hackers were able to break through the security of virtually every model of California's voting machines and change results or take control of some of the systems' electronic functions, according to a University of California study released Friday.

The researchers "were able to bypass physical and software security in every machine they tested,'' said Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who authorized the "top to bottom review" of every voting system certified by the state.

1. Did anybody watch NUMBERS last night
It was only a TV show but it sure showed how people who wanted to STEAL elections would go about it. AND unless someone suspected, and had the know how - no one would ever know.
