Reply #25: Could be done easily with one person [View All]

on both Diebold and Sequoia.

Black Box Voting, along with two other research cohorts, recently demonstrated this in a real elections office setting, using the real system.

Altered 100,000 votes, left not a trace.

Documented it meticulously, this hack calls 40 million votes into question. Reported it to the House Judiciary Committee and Conyers office. So far, the response is only the sound of crickets chirping.

Is it that they don't want to truly unravel the garment, or that they do not understand the significance of a lone hacker altering an election using the real software in a real location, without leaving a trace?

One would hope that they have the courage to deal with the elephant in the room, rather than investing time only in vote suppression and punch cards (and a few magic bullet theories not yet supported by paper or videotaped evidence).

The hacking of the central tabulators can be achieved by one person with Diebold (proven, not theoretical) and by one person with Sequoia (using real software, but not yet proven in real setting).

Watch for new documents on the Black Box Voting forum DOCUMENT ARCHIVE for ES&S and Sequoia this weekend. The BBV team is heading back from a productive research and public teaching trip in California.
