Diebold Opti-Scan election hack demonstrated

June 30, 2005 @ 5 Comments

Some months back I let you know that tampering with Diebold election equipment may have altered the outcome of the 2004 election.

Now comes an actual demonstration of the hack against the Diebold Opti-Scan system, via Bruce Schneier.

As it turns out, the hack can be carried out by one person, and the results tampered with in such a way that the tampering is completely undetectable by normal canvassing procedures. The election results have never been in more doubt than now; this Diebold system simply cannot be trusted.
