[Η The Times παίζει κάτω την εισαγωγή αυτής της ιστορίας, αλλά βασικά ο γραμματέας Καλιφόρνιας του κράτους διαπίστωσε ότι αυτές οι μηχανές, που χρησιμοποιούνται για να αποφασίσουν ποιος κέρδισε τις πρόσφατες εκλογές, δεν πρόκειται να εμπιστευθούν.]
 
ΧΡΌΝΟΙ ΤΗΣ ΝΈΑΣ ΥΌΡΚΗΣ - Η έκφραση της ανησυχίας ότι διάφορα εμπορικά σήματα των ηλεκτρονικών μηχανών ψηφοφορίας που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν σε Καλιφόρνια ήταν τρωτά να πειράξουν, γραμματέας του κράτους Debra Bowen πρόσφατη Παρασκευή διέταξε ότι η νέα προστασία ασφάλειας προστίθεται και περιόρισε τη χρήση δύο τύπων μηχανών που επρόκειτο να χρησιμοποιηθούν στις εκλογές του επόμενου έτους σε διάφορους νότιους νομούς Καλιφόρνιας. Bowen also withdrew state approval of the InkaVote Plus machines used in Los Angeles County, saying that the machines’ maker, Election Systems and Software, had failed to submit its equipment to her office in time to analyze its vulnerability to hacking. . .
 
Bowen ordered that some machines made by Diebold Election Systems and Sequoia Voting Systems be limited to one per polling place to limit the chances that they could be tampered with. The Sequoia machines are used in Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties.
 
Bowen said the presence of the machines, though limited, would be helpful for disabled voters, though any voter could use the machines. Weir, however, said she was creating a “separate but unequal” voting system.
 
The security requirements Bowen imposed include: reinstalling the software before the Feb. 5. election to ensure it has not already been tampered with; placing special seals at vulnerable parts of the machines to reveal tampering; securing each machines at the close of each day of early voting; assigning a specific election monitor to safeguard each machine; and conducting a complete manual count of all votes cast.

BRAD BLOG -  The  [review] had found that all electronic voting systems certified in California were easily accessible to hacking. A single machine, the testers discovered, could be easily tampered with by an election insider, voting machine company employee, or other individual in such a way that an entire election could be effected without detection. . .
