44. Here's why this is a huge honkin' problem

(That's technical-speak, don'tcha know)

The scanner reads the vote information and stores it on a memory card: the same sort used on Touchscreen voting machines. Those cards are then used for the official count back at the BOE.

Changing a machine or card during an election violates the integrity of the data, and is a prime point of failure/window for hacking.

But hey, they're only little laws, right?
