Ohio Study: Scariest E-Voting Security Report Yet

Ed Felten writes on Freedom to Tinker:

The State of Ohio released the report [.pdf] of a team of computer scientists it commissioned to study the state’s e-voting systems. Though it’s a stiff competition, this may qualify as the scariest e-voting study report yet.

This was the first detailed study of the ES&S iVotronic system, which up to now had been the only major system to have avoided such study. The study found many ways to subvert ES&S systems.

This is yet more evidence that today’s paperless e-voting machines can’t be trusted.
