Voting Machine vulnerabilities first warned about in the early 2000's in NJ still have not been fixe
This post is basically an attempt to provide a jumping off spot for people to read articles about a vulnerable voting machine problem, which leading computer scientists in the world warned a state about before they even purchased the machines.
One has to wonder, with experts like that telling them not to, why they went ahead and bought them anyway. That should be a red flag as to the system's - something.
Many many papers have been written about their many vulnerabilities, enough to serve as a sort of introduction to many concepts in computer security and embedded devices.
The literature would also be entertaining, if it was not so tragic. One can only speculate as to how many NJ politicians would not have won their seats were older, less easily manipulated without leaving a trace methods (like optically scannable paper ballots which are largely unhackable, and scanners for them which can be built using very short and easily read open source code and off the shelf components available at any department store for a cost of under $300 per voting station. Paper ballots can be audited after the election if there are questions, these touch screen voting machines - built using 1980s technology, dont maintain any permanent record of votes cast in an unhackable form.)
This year I think it will make 14 years that various organizations - including one of the leading universities in computer science in the world's- entire computer science department, have been begging the state, firs not to buy them (yes, they knew they were obsolete before buying them!) and then, to get rid of them.
One of the co-authors of the "C" programming language and an important developer of the Unix operating system - (really!) - as close as one gets to royalty in the world of computer science, with more credibility in the technology world than businessmen like Bill Gates / Steve Jobs, etc- testified as to their insecurity - against the state's consultant.
The machines are now sold for as little as $25 each (plus SHIPPING) on Internet auction sites like govdeals.
So any researcher - or crook- who wants to learn how to hack them can buy one of their own.
Here is an entertaining web page by Princeton professor Andrew Apfel on the issue:

Might want to get that checked.
Wait, wait. I think I get it. You were saying both sides are the same side and I took you for a grammar police. My apologies.
Have you looked at BradBlog? He's been following this for years.
Can't seem to get much traction with the PTB of course, but he keeps at it. Always a good source for election fraud/problems.
I'm not sure anybody gets your point about googling things your italicizing. You might want to explore embedded links, like I did above with BradBlog.
