at BlackBoxVoting.org are spreading the word about yet another security concern related to Diebold equipment. This time, however, it isn’t the individual voting machine at issue. Rather, it seems that the Diebold GEMS central tabulator contains a stunning security hole. “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.” [via Boing Boing]
