I agree on "The article stinks of bullshit to me." Although ability to track is inherently determined by sensors used. A lot of people are assuming a video based sensor is employed. True or not, I agree, there are many limitations, and the article (on my 4th reading) sounds more like a conspiracy or ACLU lawyer than actual fact on capabilities. I think you hit the nail on the head Johnny Cashed.

Video Shows Easy Hacking of E-Voting Machines 254

Mike writes "The Security Group at the University of California in Santa Barbara has released the video that shows the attacks carried out against the Sequoia voting system. The video shows an attack where a virus-like software spreads across the voting system. The coolest part of the video is the one that shows how the 'brainwashed' voting terminals can use different techniques to change the votes even when a paper audit trail is used. Pretty scary stuff. The video is absolute proof that these types of attacks are indeed feasible and not just a conspiracy theory. Also, the part that shows how the 'tamperproof' seals can be completely bypassed in seconds is very funny (and quite disturbing at the same time)."
