Well it would make sense to use a pencil if they were using a scan card system.

But seriously, talk about making it easy to change votes around...

Don't give Hillary ideas

I can't believe that... really. Here, like in every country (at least I thought so), you have to use a ball pen or something that can't be erased like a pencil.

at least you have some sort of paper ballot. We are stuck with closed source code, politically affiliated voting machine companies that do not produce any verifiable paper record (Some do, a lot dont)

The Hacking Democracy movie is actually based on true events of where the company developing the digital voting booths was hacked by a programmer to change the outcome of the votes so that one candidate won.

It's a pretty good movie, I would recommend everyone watch it.

It's actually not too bad of an idea. It's a good way to train people to know what they are looking for. Providing it is on a box with no external network access.

Ok but how do you put it onto that walled off box?

You'd be risking a machine or network somewhere and only propagating the spread of the virus by doing so.

DustinB3403

It would be much wiser to just provide the Whitepapers that already exist from well reputed security companies and provide that.

Rather than build a network, to just have it get destroyed by Ransomware.

There are some handy tools to do that actually. You could virtualize the Windows machine on a Linux laptop that isn't connected to the network. Even on Windows there are options.

Or... it's a bad idea because it trains management that if they don't understand something that they should not listen to IT.

If you figure out how to reach through the phone and choke the person the other end, please let me know.
