While not specifically related to "Linux Security" I came across this news late last week and would like to share it here. I am amazed -- and appalled -- that this story is not getting more (any) national coverage: According to the indictment, these alleged criminal actions affected the outcome of federal, local, and state primary and general elections in 2002, 2004, and 2006. You read that right: this is exactly the type of voting fraud that many of the experts, such as Bruce Schneier, have been talking about for years. It's no longer theory, it's practical and has actually affected the outcome of elections. With that being said, where is the national outrage? Sure it was only state- and local-level elections in Kentucky, but now that we see vulnerabilities in these electronic voting machines being used in real life, how do we know for sure it's not affecting us in our state?
