: FSU College of Law Library BlogSoftware Attacks Pose Threat to All Electronic Voter Machines
By fayejones
The Brennan Center Task Force on Voting System Security at NYU School of Law has released a report and policy proposals concluding that all three of the nation's most commonly purchased electronic voting systems "have significant security and reliability vulnerabilities" which leave them open to software attacks. The Task Force found that the most troubling vulnerabilities can be substantially remedied but "few jurisdictions have implemented any of the key countermeasures" that could protect the integrity of a state or national election.
