The Voting Systems In Ohio Have "Critical Security Failures"

From cliffschecter:

That was the conclusion reached by the EVEREST study (Evaluation & Validation of Election-Related Equipment, Standards & Testing) put together by our fantastic Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner (think Ken Blackwell or Katherine Harris, without the overarching stupidity, moral vapidity, holier-than-thou BS and corporate and political cronyism--in other words, imagine just the opposite).

Here are the basic findings, which I'm sure will shock you all:

Ohio's voting systems are vulnerable.

Testers looking at the performance of Ohio's voting machines identified numerous risks to election integrity ranging from minor to severe. Among their findings: a magnet and a Personal Digital Assistant (i.e. a Treo) may be all that is needed to hack into Ohio's voting systems.

Although I'm just sure nothing was tampered with in 2004, what with the strange results in many parts of the state and the GOP's history of commitment to fair elections in places like Florida and New Hampshire...

In any case, watch the video to see Brunner's commitment to fair elections in 2008. And catch a rising political star in the Ohio Democratic Party...
