Impressive! What's also impressive is getting -ve number of votes
(precinct 216 FL, Bush/Gore 2000 elections.) (A ballot paper: $0.02, a
riggable Diebold voting machine $1,000.00, Expression on the face of the
voting official when a canditate gets -16,022 votes in his/her precinct:
priceless!)

Here's an excerpt from a not so old article:

"The way the system is set up today, there is no evidence to be found,"
computer security expert Wertheimer says. "It's just software; there is
no way to verify that it has been rigged." In January the state of
Maryland, which used 16,000 new Diebold machines Tuesday, commissioned
Wertheimer and his team to try to hack into a pretend election. They
were successful.=20

"We broke into the computer at the state Board of Elections, completely
changed the election, left, and then erased all our trail and then got
back out. And we did it in under five minutes," Wertheimer told ABCNews.
