Any takers?

A county supervisor in Riverside Co. California has opened his mouth and may regret it. He has challenged the local advocacy group, SaveRVote, to bring in a computer expert and hack their Sequoia voting machines. They say it can't be done and are challenging someone to come in and prove them wrong. Any takers? / Recently EAC Commissioner Donnetta Davidson spoke before the "Florida State Association of Supervisor of Elections". Witnesses to that speech have reported that Ms. Davidson expressed concern that Democrats won control of the Senate in the recent election. Her concern? She stated that she had promises from Republicans in the Senate that legislation requiring a voter verified paper audit trail and audits would never come to the floor. Ms. Davidson's statements seem to be neither independent nor bipartisan and show a willingness to play politics rather than work for the good of the voter....

1. Will this person be "County Supervisor for the Day?" Then it's easiest to rig/hack

Is the offer limited to just one computer expert or can we bring in an entire "red team" and then issue a report of the multitudinous methods of entry? Can we collect the million dollar reward more than once? (oh yeah, there's no reward)

3. IMHO, Most DREs, from a hardware standpoint

have the same basic architecture, then the attack vectors will be the same. Right off the bat, I am thinking about portable media. IIRC both the Sequoia DREs (Edge & Advantage)use PCMcia slots.

4. Ms Davidson

Is an obstacle to a democratic recovery. No paper ballots and no audits? Just who does she work for?

Rich targets like her need to be the focus of our attention. If we are ever going to get what we want and America needs, the people who work for us need to clearly express their allegiance.
