| 16. The "Clint Curtis Hack" involved source code. |
|
(Seems a shame to call it that. Perhaps the "Tom Feeney Hack"?  )Anyway, the Ballot Definition Setting is something that is part of "prgramming" each election. It's where you enter the names of the candidates (and parties). The particular issue in that Bill Bored recommended link, had to do with "Straight-party voting" being involved. Whether by accident (which surely can happen) or fraud (which surely can happen) those settings were wrong. There's more to it, there are other BDS vulnerabilities, and, of course the Bev?Howard Dean thing. Point is, you don't have to mess with the source code (though one could) to mess with an election. I'm only so excited about opening the vendors software guessing that vulnerabilities may still get by. I'd rather not have the computers involved. Hand counting a precinct is no big deal. Passing the tallies to the county isn't, either. |
