Voting machines subject to being hacked

TAGS: Security

Bill Clinton just called me.

No, seriously. He just called my cell phone about five minutes ago.

Of course, I hung up on our former president. With all due respect, I was in the middle of a blog entry.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to tell him about Diebold and the fact that their voting machines can be hacked. Even though 90% of Americans will be voting via these machines on Tuesday, many are fearful that there exists a potential that their votes won't be counted, and because of that fear, a multitude of people in Maryland are voting via absentee ballot.

Check out the three minute MSN video above for the lowdown, and this ten minute video below expands on the MSN video above. A more detailed paper on the Princeton research can be found here.
