11/28/2005 Diebold machines face crucial test
Back in May, voting activists went on the Internet and for $300 apiece
purchased two devices used to record moisture levels in corn.
Certain corn scanners use the same memory cards as Diebold Election Systems'
optical scanning machines for ballots and can easily modify them.
That makes corn scanners a tool for vote hacking.
Sitting by a hotel pool last spring in Florida, Finnish computer expert
Harri Hursti wrote his own program on a memory card so it could alter
poll results on a Diebold machine in Leon County and flash a screen message —
"Are we having fun yet?" — that shocked the local elections supervisor.
