1. A VBS script?
For a script of that short of a code to be able to alter the results would require that NO encryption was performed upon the election summary data. With the ability to produce a phony summary, the actual ballots may also be stored as unencrypted data. This is EXTREMELY dangerous for sensitive data. With a network connection and access to Windows networking facilities (NetBIOS) or a VNC client, one could read, download, alter, and upload defrauded result. This is even worse than the hard-coded cypher key in the software. You could literally reduce the "secure" election results to a Microsoft Office file.
