Reply #26: The hack you're describing is the one discovered by Ed Felten of Princeton. [View All]

I haven't watched Hacking Democracy so I'm not sure but I think the hack you reference is not from Hacking Democracy - it's the hack found by Ed Felten. Here's a website describing it.

Interestingly, Felten is on the team that is currently investigating Sarasota. I'm pretty sure he will consider the possibility of a memory card virus (as well as a virus that is delivered by any other medium). The question is, of course, whether he can do enough of an investigation if he is given just the source code and nothing else.
