No one is even sure where the code came from. It arrived in bags bearing the marks of Wyle Labs and Ciber, two of the companies charged with doing security testing on the machines on behalf of local governments. Both companies have reported that they are not missing any discs, but the entire episode is enough to unnerve Johns Hopkins computer science professor Avi Rubin. "If, as I suspect (due to the labels on the disks), the software leaked out of the testing labs, then that is a serious problem that has to be addressed," he writes on his blog. "Don't get me wrong"”I think that voting system software should be available to the public, but that is a different issue from whether or not testing labs are competent at protecting things that they are trusted with and that they believe they are supposed to protect."
This is a very serious problem....Elections can and have been won from vote tampering.... In 3 minutes with a pocket pc these guys can change the votes... We need a paper ballot or trail of some sort....
I actually agree with Ifferd on this. Online voting is just asking for a hi jacking. I also dont like online voter registration. I heard something about it on the way to work the other day. Not sure which state they were talking about.
Another source code leak for Diebold
