How to Hack a Voting Machine

Would you like to see, first hand, how to hack a voting machine? Well, the video below shows you, step-by-step, how it is done. And it is amazingly simple. A Princeton University team demonstrates how it was able to not only manipulate votes on an electronic voting machine, but then how their software erases itself after doing the illegal act, leaving no traces of the crime.

Even machines with a paper trail can be programmed to print out one result while tabluating another. And optical scanning machines can also be compromised as well if their computer code is modified. Below is a demonstration of how a voting machine is compromised.
