Monkey Changes Election Results

And no, that's not a pun on Dubya.

Apparantly Diebold's voting machines can be hacked, by a monkey, or any other person with virtually no computer skills. Which of course makes it a lot easier for those people who do have skills to fiddle around with stuff.

Yep - they've been talking about this for at least a year, probably more. There are so many leaked internal company memos about the security holes it's just not funny, plus all the industry and independent studies have shown how vulnerable the system is. Going to be an interesting November.
