California May Impose 'Hacker Test' on All Electronic Voting Machines
An AP newswire article, via The Mercury News, reports that:
Companies wanting to sell electronic voting machines in California may be forced to prove their systems can withstand an attack from a computer hacker, the state's top elections official said Monday.
Secretary of State Bruce McPherson said his office is planning a hacker test on a machine built by Diebold Election Systems, one of the nation's largest manufacturers of electronic voting systems. McPherson said he might seek to expand such testing to all systems seeking certification for use in California's 58 counties.
