how secure is your vote?
J. Alex Halderman, University of Michigan computer scientist, helped produce ten minute video demo of vote flipping in Diebold machine, some time ago. Halderman made a name for himself by accepting the DC area internet voting challenge just last month to test security of internet voting. The computer scientist led team took control in a matter of hours of most of the voting system, including database username, password and encryption key. Halderman, who believes it's virtually impossible to make internet voting secure, changed all votes and installed a backdoor to surveil votes cast after the attack. A vote-hacking hero for our times is born and hats off to Professor Halderman!

vote flipping in fort wayne, in
Indiana voter selected straight Republican ticket on voting machine but when checking ballot, showed marked all Democrat. "He called over an election judge, who reset the machine, which then worked correctly. The viewer tells us he was then able to vote the way he wanted." It just goes to show how easy and innocent fraud may look on the surface! How many voters are too hurried to double-check? Rumor has vote fraud leaning towards benefiting democrats this political season, possibly, making up for lost ground in past elections? A brief article and video are available at www.indiananewscenter.com.
