Diebold voting machines vulnerability

Diebold voting machines vulnerability 08/31/2004 08:20 AM
Cory Doctorow: Diebold's voting machines have a stunning security defect:

Manipulation technique found in the Diebold central tabulator -- 1,000 of these systems are in place, and they count up to two million votes at a time.

By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security measures to fully mitigate the risks.

This program is not "stupidity" or sloppiness. It was designed and tested over a series of a dozen version adjustments.

Gambling Machines Much Safer Than
Electronic Voting Machines

Gambling Machines Much Safer Than
Electronic Voting Machines 06/14/2004 03:33 AM
It appears that making sure gambling is fair is much more important than making sure our elections are fair. One of the defenses pulled out by those who want to keep going with existing electronic voting machines is that no one seems to complain about electronic gambling machines. Perhaps that's because electronic gambling machines are held to a much higher standard than electronic voting machines. This NY Times editorial lists six different ways in which gambling machines in Nevada are under much more scrutiny than electronic voting machines. These include things like the fact that the state requires copies of the source code of all electronic gambling software, as well as their stringent licensing procedure for any company that wishes to sell electronic gambling machines. Employees of any such company have to go through background checks to make sure they have no criminal record. Considering that Diebold had convict ed felons involved with their electronic voting systems - you wonder if a similar licensing procedure might make sense for voting machines as well.

The full story is over on Corante.On April 20th, the Oakland Tribune published a story regarding Diebold's alleged use of uncertified voting software in violation of California state law (Diebold knew of legal risks). The article cited and focused on internal legal memos from the Jones Day law firm showing that Diebold's own lawyers had warned of some of the possible illegalities. Online, the Oakland Tribune posted the documents in addition to the article. That afternoon, the Trib's parent company and the reporter were sued by Jones Day to have the documents returned. The judge ordered the documents returned, except for those already published on the internet (Judge: Tribune must turn over legal memos):Hmm, "already published on the Internet", eh? Click on that link and download them.  They are the Diebold electronic voting scandal's smoking gun, dead body, and confession note.   All nicely presented, annotated, and distributed, for your democratic pleasure.

AP: California Panel: Don't use Diebold touch-screen voting machines . By an 8-0 vote, the state's Voting Systems and Procedures Panel recommended that Shelley cease the use of the machines, saying that Texas-based Diebold has performed poorly in California and its machines malfunctioned in the state's March 2 primary election, turning away many voters in San Diego County.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. The evidence has been building steadily against Diebold, and now an important panel has advised the state to hold an irresponsible company's feet to the fire. But there's a much bigger issue to consider: Are any of the voting-machine companies' black boxes to be trusted? The answer is No. Maybe these things work right, but maybe they don't. We can't afford to take this kind of a chance with our elections. California -- and every other state -- should insist that these machines not be used until they have a voter-verifiable paper trail. That's the only way to restore even a tiny bit of trust to a broken system. Better yet, we should move to systems like the one developed by the Open Voting Consortium, which is developing a system that is a) open; b) runs on cheap hardware; and c) can be verified to prevent improper election results from fraud or coding mistakes. Let's fix this mess, soon. Meanwhile, a cheer to the California panel that has told Diebold what needed to be said.

A Cog in the Baseball Machine 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
Last month I went to an all-day umpiring workshop, and today was the Little League Opening Day parade. As a side-effect, I’m feeling rather culturally well-rooted, not to mention erudite: two strikes on the batter, a foul-tip bounces off the catcher’s mask into the air, the third basemen charges in and catches it; is the batter out? Or... runners on first and second, pop fly to third, infield-fly rule called, the ball bounces off the third baseman’s glove through foul territory into the dugout, what happens? Then there’s the crash and howl of the bagpipe band as hundreds of bright-clad children march onto the immaculate infield grass... Opening Day!...

How to fix Mom's computer: Here's a great article on how to de-malware a computer. Gina from scribbling.net went home over the holidays and had to "fix" her mother's computer. She was so awesomely kind to write down everything she did, complete with screencaps.

Related to this, the people in my office have purchased about a dozen new home computers from Dell this year (the Dime nsion 2400 was going for as cheap as $349 at one point). They have them all shipped to the office, and they ask me to set them up.

This means I've gone through a dozen new computer set-ups this year, and I've developed it into an art-form. I really should write the process down — what I enable, what I update, what I uninstalled, what I reinstall, etc. I'm proud to say that I present people with a pretty bulletproof machine, when everything is said and done.

If you don't think it's necessary to set-up a brand new computer well, read this. Via Kottke.

I have to say the upside of having bloggers at the DNC is that I've learned the ropes of how these conventions go, through their eyes. I didn't know about speech embargoes until a few people posted about speeches before they happened.

While watching Fox news for a few minutes tonight (to see O'Reilly take on Michael Moore), I noticed they don't show speeches in their entirety like the other networks, but simply cut to certain sections. Knowing about these embargoes, it becomes clear why they choose to cut away to live, in-progress speeches -- they know exactly what's coming up and they can highlight the most offending sections, and just those sections, out of context from the rest of the speech.

The Eco Egg Washing Machine will delicately handle even your most fragile, lacey underthings, using "gentle agitation" in lieu of the traditional agitator. It's been around since 2003, but Shiny Shiny covered it and I couldn't resist. Definitely the most fun washing machine to pretend you're an astronaut in, it's available from Amazon for just $75, and can plug right into the kitchen faucet in your studio apartment. The big downside: There's no spin-dry, so you have to hand-wring your clothes.
