E-Voting Problems With The Diebold AccuVote

Ed Felton of Freedom-to-Tinker fame and his cohorts at Princeton released a paper today about the problems with the Diebold AccuVote electronic voting system. Right about now I would imagine that the Diebold management team would love to get Ed in a dark alley.

The Princeton team managed to get their hands on one of the units, tho they do not say quite how.

Their findings are pretty bleak. The report details problems with the hardware, the application, and the underlying software. Maybe the most incidious problem being its vunerability to computer virus like attacks.

The Diebold AccuVote system has come under several attacks, but this is without question the most serious paper to date on the subject.
