Backdoor found in Diebold Voting Tabulators

Issue: Manipulation technique found in the Diebold central tabulator --
1,000 of these systems are in place, and they count up to two million
votes at a time.

By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes 
is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer 
matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals 
from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and 
to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security 
measures to fully mitigate the risks.
