More confirmation of vote flipping by e-voting machines

I've been concerned about this since 2000.

When Arkansas began revising requirements for direct-read electronic voting machines in 2005 (Act 654), one of the "musts" was to require a paper trail for verification of the vote. It's hard to say whether Arkansas voters routinely check the paper verification against their electronic vote for accuracy, but here's news this week that the ES&S iVotronic machines (used here in Arkansas) are vulnerable to virus attack and vote-flipping. Just to be clear, though, this is an industry-wide problem -- here's confirmation of problems with all four of the major e-voting machines. Theoretically shouldn't be a problem here so long as voters check the paper trail for accuracy, but that shouldn't have to be an issue.
