Black Box Voting has discovered that 81% of New Hampshire voters will be casting their ballots on optical scan paper ballot machines with a known hackable version of the outdated firmware (1.94w). BBV purchased their own machine, and permorm a demonstration of a hacked vote.

Pre-test numbers: 0 Yes, 0 No.
Ballots cast: 2 Yes, 6 No.
Final count: 7 yes, 1 No.

A single company, LHS, has complete chain of custody over these machines, including providing the memory cards and flashing the firmware (to what they say is a UV flashable ROM, but I spot no socketed EPROM on the ancient (circa 1987) Motherboard.)

2. We need paper ballots NOW

I know Edwards has talked about them (a little), has anyone else?

And what are the chances this story gets any traction in the mainstream media? (yes, that's rhetorical sadly)

That's why I largely avoid the mainstream media for election coverage and opt for something better: http://bravenewfilms.org/election

Bev Harris is considered a person non grata here at DU. She caused quite a bit of trouble in 2004, and didn't follow through with anything.

8. But optical scan ballots are paper and can be recounted, no?

Given the huge difference between exit polls and what the counts are showing, perhaps they should be...
