Diebold Audit Released, BlackBoxVoting.Org Shut Down
Chris Soghoian writes "The State of Maryland requested an audit of the Diebold electronic voting system by SAIC, after a report released by Johns Hopkins University and Rice Researchers (disclaimer: I'm one of Dr Rubin's students) noted several security issues. A condensed, from 200 to 40 pages, and censored version of the report has been released online (PDF link). The report notes that 'SAIC has identified several high-risk vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have significant impact upon the AccuVote-TS voting system operation.'" However, Diebold says Maryland are moving forward with installation with "new security features" included, and elsewhere, Badgerman points out "Diebold has shut down blackboxvoting.org, apparently with copyright claims made to their ISP. But you can still go to the blackboxvoting.com site."
Does the truth bother you? When are the stupid, close-minded republican sheep going to realize they are being fucked too? Jesus, if I see one more person discount a valid statement as "conspiracy" I am going to blow my lid.
Who gives a shit if it is conspiracy? The point is that SOMETHING is up when a company wants to operate in such secrecy when it is in a business where it should be more forthright with the public. Why keep the systems closed? Why does Diebold object to a paper audit trail? Why do they hide behind copyright and shut down anyone who tries to expose this info? THERE IS SOMETHING UP AND A DUMB FUCK LIKE YOU REFUSES TO OPEN YOUR EYES!
