Princeton University IT Dept Writes Virus to Infect ALL Diebold Accuvote Machines.

YouTube and Google Video now available for Princeton University IT Departments' Virus for Diebold Accuvote Machines.

Video Links Available Here!

These things all need to be IMMEDIATELY DE-CERTIFIED from use ANYWHERE in the US.

This is MAJOR! Princeton University's Information Technology Policy Department has just put out their press release and built a web page complete with video about their findings. Watch the video and spread this far and wide!

Here is the website with the full report and findings including the downloadable Windows Media Video: Center for Information Technology Policy - Princeton University

Download the video and then upload it to every video hosting service you know. I've already uploaded it to Google Video and to YouTube above.

Other locations it should be uploaded to: LiveDigital.com, DailyMotion.com and any others you can think of. Please do me a favor and "Digg" this story and then send it to as many news outlets as you can think of. When you're done doing that, send it to your representatives in Congress and the Senate.

As you can see, this is just starting to get some news coverage but it is mostly on the technical side and nobody is linking to the video demonstration yet as this story and video are less than 10 hours old. Forbes Article from the AP, Engadget. And here is a related article that makes this all the more upsetting: USA Today - Election Watchers Predict Glitches. And then there is this from my friend Eric who submitted this article about his personal experiences yesterday at a Maryland polling station to Crooks & Liars.

  And read yesterday's diary on this topic:

  Contact your county officials in charge of elections and complain, no matter what brand of electronic voting machine is being used. In most districts this is an elected position itself and maybe you can pressure them on that basis. Here in Ohio the Sect. of State Blackwell mandated those machines that were OK. My county tossed out one vendor because of unreliability and non-cooperation but the current one is just as bad. This is how Blackwell may win his race for Governor even though he is running behind his opponent and a lot of the Ohio republicans are not voting for him (don't know whether that's because of his bad policies or the fact that Southern Oho republicans do not vote for Blacks).

•  Not Sure

  I'm not sure that your title is actually right ... Are you asserting that Princeton is going to infect all Diebold machines with a virus?  Or that Princeton has demonstrated that a virus could be written that affects Diebold machines.
