Diebold and the Princeton Report

The testing of Diebold's voting machine and its vulnerabilities has made the rounds of the internet, feeding the paranoia of those on the left who believe that our last two national elections were stolen. Diebold's response makes the Princeton "experts" look like partisan hacks. They tested a system with out-of-date software and introduced a virus that mimicked correct operation while storing false results.

It has never made much sense to me that a company whose business is security and accuracy and whose clients are nearly all banks would be as shoddy in this case as many of the Angry Left insist.

I'm wondering now about the claim that a mini-bar key was able to unlock the cover to the memory card. Presumably mere access to the memory card is not sufficient
