1. If the YouTube site is busy, the original is at
http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/videos.html

It's astonishingly easy to hack these things and apparently one doesn't even need to know the source code to write a malicious program.

All it takes is a pick set and a memory card and the ability to write some pretty basic code.

2. Does anyone have the story about the young man from FL
who wrote the software and was "disappeared" in a Georgia motel room, I believe? He was heading out to testify or tell someone how the software worked, if memory serves me correctly.

3. I vaguely recall a video from Black Box Voting
a few years ago that showed Bev Harris demonstrating to Howard Dean how easy it was to change votes
from a remote laptop without any memory card or other physical tampering.
There are most likely numerous ways to hack into Diebold.
This is all very scary.

7. Bullshit
that would require hundreds of people with laptops.

A simple code put in by Diebold programmers would do the same but only REQUIRE a couple ppl to know about it.

9. It is all over the place today
I have been sending to everyone

Feedback is that PEOPLE UNDERSTAND

Right now, my son and daughter are passing it around to their friends

I think we just need to hammer on this - because in THIS FORMAT, people GET IT!
