How important is one vote?The Washington Post reports a single person could swing an election. As long as he's a hacker.
A team of cybersecurity experts tested electronic voting machines in a mock election -- and were able to change the outcome. In it -- candidate Tom Jefferson actually led by 80,000 votes -- but a hacker was able to reprogram voting machines so that the win went to his opponent -- Johnny Adams.
Easiest way to prevent the fraud? Researchers say an auditable paper trail. None of the major voting machines provide those right now. (WashPost)
