Worst Ever Security Flaw in Diebold Voting Machine

WhiteDragon writes "The folks at Open Voting Foundation got their hands on a Diebold AccuVote TS touchscreen voting machine. They took it apart (pictures here), and found the most serious security flaw ever discovered in this machine. A single switch is all that is required to cause the machine to boot an unverified external flash instead of the built-in, verified EEPROM."

    I am really sick and tired of people like you complaining because your partly lost. Get over it.
    Let me see if I get this straight, the courts are good when they make up laws which you like, but they are bad when they actually follow the laws that you don't like. Hmmmmmmm.
