Q&A: E-voting security results 'awful,' says Ohio secretary of state

ComputerWorld.com:

"Ohio officials discovered in March that some voting systems manufactured by Premier Elections Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of Diebold Inc., dropped votes as they were being uploaded to a main server. Because the problem is in the tabulator system, it affects votes cast on both Diebold's direct recording electronic (DRE) systems, which are usually touch screen, and paper ballot optical-scan systems. The same central tabulators will be used in more than 30 states next month."

Okay, let's add to this to the nauseating broth: University Students Demonstrate Just How Easy it is to Rig an Election.

It's not a matter of "if," or even "how," but "how far."
