- Photo Demonstration Hack: Bypassing the seal on a Diebold AV-OS in Michigan
- 15 minute demonstration hack of a Diebold voting system ("GEM" software)
Jim March, BlackBoxVoting, June 23, 2006.
See Jim's blog also.
After an election,
Diebold's GEM software is used to compile election results. So when it is hacked, as here,
it doesn't change any of the precinct numbers, just the compiled totals.
That makes the hack invisible unless the totals are checked manually (i.e. audited).
- Demonstration Diebold Hack
