News from the United States of Banana Republic. Es ist technisch möglich, dass die US-Wahl 2004 in grossem Stil gehackt wurde. Jenseits aller Verschwörungstheorien: So KANN es gewesen sein. Allein, das es so gewesen sein KANN, ist beängstigend.

How to Hack the Vote: the Short Version
For a .pdf version of the long report, click HERE.
Author’s Note (i.e. Chuck Herrin) – For anyone who is curious, I have put together this shortened document that will show you exactly how easy it is to break into Diebold’s GEMS software, which is the software used to tabulate regional voting results. This software runs on regular Windows machines and counts the votes from multiple precincts that may have used touch screens (which have their own problems), optically scanned punch cards, or other balloting methods. It is responsible for the accurate reporting of tens of millions of votes cast using many different types of ballots.
That’s right – even if you used the older systems like punch cards, your vote can still be Hacked when the numbers all come together. Wanna see how easy it is?
I am going to show you, step by step and with screenshots, how an attack against our election system could very easily steal a Statewide or even a National election without leaving a trace. This attack would be easy to carry out, difficult to detect, and exert enormous influence on the results, leaving the humble voter coldly left out of the decision-making process.
