Tests have proven these machines are vulnerable to outside hacking, even by wireless devices. In one recent electing in California, poll workers were allowed to take these machines home. Tests in Florida demonstrated that results could be totally reversed -- the Hursti tests. People from all ends of the spectrum, from Brad Friedman of BradBlog to Lou Dobbs, to a radio host who subs for Rush Limbaugh have been trying to raise awareness, but it hasn't been working. (And no one has been mentioning the possible link between Diebold and Abramoff.)
If we can't trust our votes will be counted correctly, if election results are a test of hacking rather than issues or participation, we are in trouble.
How can we make this problem more visible?
