Virginia Begins to Worry About Voting Machines

nonsecurity writes "Remember the unheeded stories about possible fraud with new electronic voting machines? Well it seems that someone is finally now taking notice. The Commonwealth of Virginia has been ready to take the leap with electronic voting machines, which many experts say are wide open to potential voting fraud. Like other jurisdictions, Virginia had been shrugging off the concerns. But the Washington Post is is now reporting that Johns Hopkins Computer Scientists have been studying the issue and have found that the machines might be easily hacked and election result tampering is a very real concern. And apparently Virginia is listening. With next year's elections promising to be full of fireworks, it's good to see that people are finally taking notice of the issue."

  3. Get over it. Bush won by AtariAmarok · · Score: 2, Troll

    "After all, the President was fairly selected by a clear majority of the SC. And the election results we've pre-programmed for 2004 are a landslide."

    Get over it. Bush won the same way all the other ones did: he won enough states to get enough electorai votes. The SC did not matter; their decision on the matter (which was to let the actual vote stand) just made sure things happened as usual.
