Diebold's Voting Machines Get EVEN Easier to Hack

Worst Security Flaw Ever Found in Diebold Electronic Voting Machines.

Basically, its super easy to make the voting machine boot from an external flash drive rather than the internal OS.

Which means that its pretty simple to just have all those votes going to the other team not get counted at all.

Which is why we should all be demanding paper receipts of our voting records and refuse any answer aside from yes. Diebold makes ATMs, would you just accept thier word that your deposit had posted or would you demand a reciept of proof? Yeah, I thought so. There is no reasonable explanation for not printing reciepts to verify a vote being tallied properly.
