Security Check: California Tries to Hack into Voting Machines

An AP newswire article, via The Sacramento Bee, reports that:

In a room so secure that even Secretary of State Debra Bowen can't enter without an escort, a team of state experts is trying to hack into three electronic voting machine systems that will be used in California's first February presidential primary.

The technology professors, computer security experts and computer hackers are trying to prevent any problems similar to those that drew headlines in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

"The voters need to feel confident that their votes are being counted," Bowen said.
