"If someone were to hack into the machine," Hoke warned, "if the logging is not secure and doesn't protect it from rollbacks, that would allow someone to tamper with it and leave no trace."

As DeForest Soaries, the George W. Bush-appointed first chair of the U.S. EAC said when he resigned in 2005 after determining that White House and Congressional efforts to reform elections in the wake of the 2000 Presidential debacle were "a charade" and "a travesty", the electoral system in use in this nation is "ripe for stealing elections and for fraud."

That was true in 2005, and it remains equally so as we barrel towards the 2012 Presidential election.http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9302
