The compromise -- and according to Sen Krueger NY is the only state that does this -- was to use machines that are not networked whatsoever, and include two distinct forms of vote storage. One that is removed and used to tally votes, and another that is solely used for auditing, along with paper. At 37 mins, she talks about how NY regulators were very much influenced by anecdotes about how first year college CS students easily hacked Ohio's systems. jolyOn Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 10:24 PM, Dave Farber <farber () gmail com> wrote: Begin forwarded message:From: Rahul Tongia <tongia.cmu () gmail com> Date: July 18, 2018 at 11:21:59 GMT+9 To: David Farber <dave () farber net> Cc: ip <ip () listbox com> Subject: Re: [IP] Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States Dave, It seems the problem isn't electronic voting machines per se. It's machines made by for profit entities that refuse oversight/audit and also are often controlled by partisan stakeholders.
