Uncertified Software Installed on Ohio Voting Machines
#3
That is very scary.

And stupid.

You don't put "experimental" software on production machines! Any IT manager who would do that in a company would get fired, especially if the "experimental" software caused the system to malfunction. This is utter stupidity at the least.

From a different article this quote worries me:

This uncertified and untested software could easily malfunction and corrupt votes on the central tabulation machines, thus destroying any electronic record of the actual votes by citizens. This "experimental" software, as outlined in the contract, has no security protocols. A "man in the middle" attack, ... could be directly facilitated by this untested and uncertified software installation.
