Reply #13: Good article but even this one won't come out and say the machines stink and can't be made secure.

The headline says: MOST VOTE MACHINES LOSE TO HACKERS

as if some of the machines withstood the test.

When in reality, as they go on to say, every damned one of them that was tested failed. The only ones that didn't fail were the ones they weren't permitted to test. Yet the article says the hackers broke thru the security of "virtually every model," as if there were some just too secure to be broken into. People are just in complete denial and can't be brought to the light at the moment. Nobody wants to believe the truth: that we don't have a democracy and won't have one until our vote-counting has some rudimentary level of transparency and verifiability again.

Here's the way the reporter phrases it:

"State-sanctioned teams of computer hackers were able to break through the security of virtually every model of California's voting machines and change results or take control of some of the systems' electronic functions, according to a University of California study released Friday."

But the next paragraph quotes Bowen as saying that the researchers "were able to bypass physical and software security in every machine they tested."
