ES&S IVotronic voting machine, with magnet and Palm organizer
An ES&S "iVotronic" DRE touchscreen voting machine, being surreptitiously put into its supervisory configuration mode with a Palm organizer and a magnet.
I took this photo at the U. Penn voting laboratory in December, 2007 during our evaluation of the ES&S system as part of project EVEREST for the State of Ohio.

broken into a voting machine which has
electronic security certified by the NSA.
These things aren't supposed to accept any
input from an optical cartridge unless it
contains the proper 256-bit key. It has a
special coprocessor which performs these
functions.

Very interesting article about this voting machines. We get also some electronic voting over the web, but only a limited amount of voters are able to use it. The procedure is very elaborate, so that most people go back to the paper and mail voting mechanics.
