Electronic Voting Machine Cracker Challenge

An anonymous reader writes "In the ongoing debate on the security of electronic voting, an Atlanta area programmer has confronted Georgia election officials on the potential for fraud in its statewide electronic voting system. She claims that she can be prepared to crack the system within a week, and officials have accepted the challenge." What makes this even more interesting is that the election officials are encouraging the woman, so that any possible exploit can be found and remedied.

    Everyone knows that women are only useful in the bedroom and the kitchen. No woman could crack even an easy target like this.

    She's just another mouthy feminist bitch.

    Looks like someone found a back door. Hey Taco, maybe you should double check the Slach code Sphincter module.

    the reason that they want electronic voting is because it gives access to the disabled, who can push a touch-screen button but can't use a pen and paper.

    There was a non-Republican and a Republican counter at each table . . .

    You know COBOL was designed by a woman

    I've known a few good women programmers, however, saying that a woman designed COBAL really doesn't say much for the cause.

    To be fair, I'll entertain arguments that COBAL isn't the OS/2 of the programming world, but only if the comments are printed on $100.00 bills and left under my keyboard.
