You couldn’t help but wonder what was gonna come out of Eric Schmidt smoozing up to the D.C. folks during Pres. Obama’s final campaign days, but it’s pretty apparent now Google has a strong foothold on America’s technology going forward.

When you walk into your voting booth, be very concerned if you see the voting machine pictured here. It is the AccuVote-TS model from Diebold.
Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy has published a non-partisan report disclosing security vulnerabilities researchers have detected in this voting machine.
Malicious software running on a single voting machine can steal votes with little if any risk of detection. The malicious software can modify all of the records, audit logs, and counters kept by the voting machine, so that even careful forensic examination of these records will find nothing amiss. We have constructed demonstration software that carries out this vote-stealing attack.
