According to the expose by www.blackboxvoting.org experts used a simple card reader to discover that a "live" program existed on the discs that were supposed to only record data. Program was able to manipulate data on disc and present in a manner that was undetectable when said disc was inserted into a vote tabulator. Check out the site - I know I have not quoted this correctly, and I don't want to be party to incorrect information - my notes just to give you an idea.
