"Diebold Election Systems (ref. parent Diebold Inc.) is a provider of
"direct recording electronic (DRE) voting solutions" [1], or voting
machines.

Bob Urosevich, CEO of Diebold Election Systems is also the founder of
ES&S, a competing voting machine company now owned by the McCarthy Group.
Together these two companies are responsible for tallying around 80% of
votes cast in the United States.

It is reputed that the software architecture common to both is a creation
of Mr Urosevich's company I-Mark and is easily compromised, in part due to
its reliance on Microsoft Access databases; and that the I-Mark and
Microsoft software each represent a single point of failure of vote
counting process, from which 80% of votes can be compromised via the
exploit of a single line of code in either subsystem. "

Je savais que ce système de votation n'était pas fiable, mais je savais pas
que c'était basé sur Access !!!!! Franchment, c'est ridicule de mettre access
comme BD pour des votes .

Beaucoup de misère à concevoir qu'un système de votation soit à source
fermée. S'il y a moindrement quelque chose d'original dans le code - et
donc qui "mériterait" la protection de la propriété intellectuelle -
c'est signe que c'est pas bon.

Come on... n'importe qui avec 1 mois d'expérience de code en Visual
Basic est capable de faire ça. Même ceux qui sortent du Collège CDI (là
où, en 6 mois, on devient expert sur le hardware, le software, la
programmation objet, la programmation web, le design, le networking, la
sécurité, les bases de données, l'analyse) seraient capables...
