Electronic Voting

Ars Technica has a fairly informative article about how one might go about stealing an election. Ars Technica is a fairly well known technology website, and from reading the article, the information seems to be valid. All of this information has been around for a while, but this is a pretty good summary of exactly what methods are available to people interested in stealing elections and how feasible they are. A lot of this is backed up by tests and experiments run on these voting machines by academic institutions, and in many cases resulted in relatively easy methods of implementing election fraud, given the proper technical knowledge. It's an interesting read, and certainly forces you to consider just how vulnerable the elections are.
