Here’s a disturbing paper outlining the security loopholes present in modern electronic voting machines. If you vote, you should read this.

Some of the vulnerabilities present include:

  • voting multiple times
  • shutting down ballot boxes
  • modifying the ballot
  • adding or removing votes
  • tricking people into voting for a different candidate
  • linking voters to their votes
  • modifying audit logs
