E-voting woes (Score 1)

In my experience, optical scanners showed the least issues with tampering; however, still leaving the possibility of ballot box stuffing if the paper ballot collection box is not properly engineered or secured. Now on the issue of Diebold's AVOS that was tampered with in Ohio, this was only achieved by poor upgrading practices (i.e. certifying all upgrades and updates) and allowing Diebold corporate officials access to county systems. Remember if you are a state official your job is to make sure that everyones vote is counted and done correctly. Corporations are there to make money by any means necessary, even if it means to rig an election so that they can have an elected official in their pocket.
