Open Voting found that by toggling a single switch it's possible to
get Diebold's AccuVote TS touchscreen voting machine to boot from an
unverified external flash drive instead of the device's built-in
firmware, which is stored on an EPROM chip.

------------------------------

I am about 50/50 for hacking the vote in '06, '08, etc.
