Last week Matt Blaze gave a presentation before congress related to hacking elections. I have linked both the article and the testimony. The testimony is interesting to read and isn’t very long, here is an interesting tidbit on DRE:<\/p>\n
“Electronic voting machines and vote tallies are not the only potential
\ntargets for such attacks. Of particular concern are the back end systems that
\nmanage voter registration, ballot definition, and other election management
\ntasks. Compromising any of these systems (which are often connected,
\ndirectly or indirectly, to the Internet and therefore potentially remotely
\naccessible) can be sufficient to disrupt an election while the polls are open
\nor cast doubt on the legitimacy of the reported result”<\/p>\n
While everyone in the media is worried about the “glass” or booth, we should be just as concerned about the backend systems. I thought this article was also relevant because Matt Blaze is a professor over at Penn and a Philadelphia local.<\/p>\n
