Vote Early And Often

The Freedom to Tinker blog takes a look at another glaring problem with Diebold voting machines. Seems that they use a smart card to authorize voters, but the card is interrogating the voting machine, rather than the other way around. Then, after the vote is placed, the machine tells the card to turn itself off. But there is nothing stopping someone (except the DirecTV folks) walking in with a pocket full of cards they set up at home from voting as often as they like.
