Diebold AccuVote Demo - Another Indication Of How Crappy Their App Is...
http://www.diebold.com/dieboldes/OnLine_Demo/screen3.html

For this Demo:

FAMOUS LEADERS(Vote for one): Select John ADAMS

Which sends you to this page:
http://www.diebold.com/dieboldes/OnLine_Demo/screen4.html?v=+1-1

Change the end of the URL to: ?v=+1-2
Hence got to http://www.diebold.com/dieboldes/OnLine_Demo/screen4.html?v=+1-2

Wow, some how your vote changed to Benjamin FRANKLIN with out you recasting your vote...

If this is any indication of how they designed their production application, then my trust in their systems is at about ZERO percent.

2. I hate diebold as much as the next guy...
...but this is a rigged demo of the front-end.

It's the back-end that we need to be worried about.

3. No doubt!
It's just their demo is so cheesy, just makes me more confident that their system(client, server, db, etc..) is probably full of so many holes

i tried to write in zero mostel and i kept getting nothing, even though it promised i could write in candidates.

i guess i just didn't pick a winner

are these the guys who are "guarding" our social security, too?
