Reply #5: Diebold GEMS allows importing of votes [View All]

[Bill Bored]

in comma separated variable (CSV) format. That's the easy way. You can also do a Bev Harris and just change the totals in Access. Also easy.

The hard way is to hack in via the phone network using a spare (or stolen) Accutvote TS or OS machine configured to match legitimate machines and spoof the tabulator with false precinct totals. You'd need to know the tabulator's phone number(s), password, etc. but in theory it could be done unless there is some unique identification of the Accuvote hardware that can't be changed. I don't know the answer to that yet, but I'm working on it.

See my letter to Congressman Rush Holt about improving HR 550.
