Bradblog: "Diebold's Response to Princeton Report 'Dodges' Issues, Says Computer Scientist Doug Jones"

University of Iowa Professor, E-Voting Expert Calls on Company to Publicly Release Information to Back Up Response

Charges 'No Third Party Security Analyses' Have Ever 'Found Their System to be Secure'

Noted University of Iowa computer scientist and e-voting expert, Douglas W. Jones, posted a reponse via email this morning to Diebold's official reply to Princeton University's recent report, detailing the ease with which Diebold's AccuVote touch-screen voting machine may have a virus inserted into its system.

Such malicious code, the first-of-its-kind report details, could flip votes, steal an election and replicate itself from one voting machine to the next. The dirty deed could be done by a single individual with about a minute's worth of unsupervised access to a single machine or memory card, and could be designed to be undetectable to either voters or elections officials.
