Electronic Voting: first person account and Diebold voting machine analysis

Risks Digest 24.42 has two interesting articles about Electronic Voting. The first is Avi Rubin's blog entry about being an election judge in Maryland. It seems that there were problems with the electronic poll books that are supposed to prevent people from voting twice in two different locations.

The other item from Risks Digest 24.42 is a reference to Security Analysis of the Diebold AccuVote-TS Voting Machine, the abstract of which says, "For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent
with the fraudulent vote count it creates."
