Hacking Voting Machines

Both political parties have spent millions of dollars during the presidential campaign. The campaigns have tried to win votes based on political ideology. All this effort is meaningless if the voting machines can be hacked. It seems disgraceful that how the votes are cast could alter the outcome of the election:
“The electronic voting machines used in 18 of New Jersey’s 21 counties can be hacked into in as little as seven minutes and manipulated to alter votes or fix elections, a new report by a Princeton University professor shows.”

Sequoia Voting Systems is the company that manufactures the voting machine and disputes the findings. It seems like it is perilously close to the election to have such disputes unsettled.

Makes me feel good to know I’m in a state that uses electronic machines with NO paper trail because they deemed it “unnecessary”.
