Reply #27: Here's a new one from FL - Voting machine security alert sent

TALLAHASSEE - The state recommended on Friday that elections officials across Florida enhance security safeguards for all voting systems after tests in California and Tallahassee exposed weaknesses.

Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho called the technical advisory a vindication of his findings last year that some Diebold optical scan voting machines can be hacked by election office insiders to change results.

"In other words, you could steal the election and no one would ever know," Sancho said.

The advisory to supervisors in all 67 Florida counties cites tests by California's Voting Systems Technology Assessment Advisory Board.

I think we just need to null and void all the elections since 2000 and try again. This time with pen, paper and hand counts.
