A rather short article notifying that the Diebold voting systems have been successfully hacked. Although I really enjoy advances in technology, things like this make me very wary... any thoughts?


(since the article is so short, I'll past it entirely)


Relief has yet to arrive for beleaguered e-voting company Diebold. The company named a new CEO on Monday but the bad news keeps coming.

Numerous blogs dedicated to monitoring the security of online voting, reported that Diebold's e-voting machines were hacked in a demonstration in Leon County, Fla., on Tuesday.

A day before, Diebold announced that CEO Wally O'Dell resigned. Based in the North Canton, Ohio, Diebold's machines are under scrutiny in Florida, North Carolina and California.

During the simulated election in Leon, election officials tampered with the memory card of one of Diebold's Optical Scan machines. The security system used to protect against memory-card attacks failed to catch the falsified results, according to reports.

ehehe.. that dosen't sound like democracy exactly.

I'm thankful we still count by hand in Sweden, and heh... if anything. I wouldn't trust electronical machines for voting.

I don't see why we bother using them.... something like this is bound to happen....

I'd rather wait a little longer to have the vote counted by hand than let someone screw around a vote because they hacked some machine
