Exclusive: A laboratory shows how an e-voting machine used by a third of all voters can be easily manipulated
It could be one of the most disturbing e-voting machine hacks to date.
Voting machines used by as many as a quarter of American voters heading to the polls in 2012 can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th grade science education, according to computer science and security experts at the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The experts say the newly developed hack could change voting results while leaving absolutely no trace of the manipulation behind.
"We believe these man-in-the-middle attacks are potentially possible on a wide variety of electronic voting machines," said Roger Johnston, leader of the assessment team "We think we can do similar things on pretty much every electronic voting machine."

Couple this “remote vote rigging” with “media jamming (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2784414/posts)" to symbiotically prove the fact that WE ALL LOVE OBAMA. WE ALL LOVE OBAMA. WE ALL LOVE OBAMA....
Maybe that has been the plan all along. No need to be for ALL the people when you have their votes already tallied.
When you’ve already labeled and belittled a huge amount of people.
How many times does anyone with even remotely similar opinions as the “Tea Party” have to hear “go to hell”, jokes from TV people, dismissive labeling by has-been Democrats like McCant, before the elite has dissed the whole country?
Who the heck haven’t they offended?
And in the vacuum of power that allows Obama Inc (featuring sensitive-author-murderer, Bill Ayers) to piss all over the furniture of the American House, it is not surprising that Obama Inc is going after a high-tech swindel/stealing of the vote.
So, they have to steal it.
I mean, non of us can even vote without the help of other people. We have to drive on the roads paid for by other people, we have to ahave the GOVERNMENT let us VOTE....

We’re doomed! The Democrats will steal the election!!!

Oh, never mind.
I hack people’s toasters regularly. Ever wonder why the same setting comes out burned half of the time, and under-cooked the other half of the time?
I’d explain how, but I’m off to steal socks....
Phase 1: Steal Socks
Phase 2:
Phase 3: Profit!
I’m guessing electrical interference might prevent votes from being cast?
You could be amazed at how much money you can make in the sock market.
I am sure ACORN and the SEIU know all about how to do this and just in case have boxes of precast ballots ready just like they did to get Al Franken elected.
You have to physically access the inner workings of the machine, attach an electronic device, keep the electronic device in place for the duration of the vote, and then remove it.
I despise electronic voting that doesn’t keep physical, verifiable audit trails. This isn’t rocket science at all. That they would build voting machines without verifiable audit trails is, to me, a sure indication of fraudulent intent.
Tha probably explains why you don't understand how they can hack the Diebolds.
I think I recall that Hugo Chaves and Venezuela were involved in the manufacture of some of these machines.
Your bank's mainframe can be hacked by remote control... if the hacker is allowed physical access to the mainframe with the time and ability to install parts.
Your doctor's office's database can be hacked by remote control... if the hacker is allowed physical access to the computer with the time and ability to install parts.
The DMV's servers can be hacked by remote control... if the hacker is allowed physical access to the servers with the time and ability to install parts.
Your electronic voting machine can be hacked by remote control... if the hacker is allowed physical access to the machine with the time and ability to install parts.
Duh. Welcome to computer security 101: once you've lost physical control of the device, you've already lost the war.
That should give you a clue why so many Conservatives are loath to accept another RINO establishment candidate. None of the current candidates poll over 30% and they are touted as the absolute winner. a 70& negative vote means winning. Charlie Sheen Logic.
If you insert a module into your toaster tuned to receive signals from the remote, then yes, you can. Did you read the article?
Yep and Fort Knox is robber proof, unless of course the Government has already stolen it from the inside.
Elections are stolen, we just let it happen because we have a press devoted to propaganda that prepares us for the result.
There are simple ways to get better more accurate results, but they all inhibit politicians on both sides from buying and selling offices.
I liked your ideas. Purple fingers and Fingerprints would be a big improvement, much better than the little lapel stickers :)
And you figure that is a bigger danger than fraudulently electing a Marxist. Cool. But I am ready to risk it, unless the people have collectively decided that we must be socialists, in which case it probably won't matter.
You may have noticed that Senators and Congressman have recorded votes, except when they are stealing from us, or hiding something, then they go to unrecorded voice votes.
Maybe it is just me, but I think I would rather know how they voted, or even if they did vote.
NO, Harris Cty does have tamper proof voting machines. They were upset when that union burned the building down to destroy our machines. They found all they needed for the election then purchased them after the election. But they are tamper proof.
You might recall when they had the big push to use statistical analysis for the census, the next logical step would have been to use that method for elections. Of course it is hard to question the motives of Bill & Hillary, them being such patriots and all.
I just trade mine for coat hangers, or so it seems.
