Hotel Minibar Key Opens Diebold Voting Machines

Billosaur writes, "As if Diebold doesn't have enough to worry about! On the Freedom To Tinker blog, Ed Felten, one of the co-authors of the recent report 'Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine', reveals an even more bizarre finding related to the initial report. It turns out that you can gain access to an AccuVote-TS machine using a hotel minibar key. In fact, the key in question is a utilitarian type used to open office furniture, electronic equipment, jukeboxes, and the like. They might as well hand them out like candy."

Just admit you were wrong

Honestly, people make mistakes. You come off as a much classier person when you just acknowledge them.

Just because you're a conservative doesn't mean you have to act like an ass.

You're using this as an excuse NOT to have a voter receipt?? How about you grow some testicles and get a better job/sue his unfair-employee-treatment-ass, if your boss is that much of a moron.
