The county Web site already showed that all precinct totals had been
counted; three sheriff's deputies who guarded the counting process on
the fourth floor of the County Administration Building in downtown
Houston had been sent home.

Also in the locked, glass-walled room were Republican Kaufman and
John R. Behrman, a computer expert and longtime election observer
representing the Democratic Party. He said he considers Kaufman's staff
the most knowledgeable election computer administrators on the
continent and does not question their motives.

But Behrman said he was shocked when he saw German use a series of
passwords and an "encryption key" — a series of numbers on a nail
file-size computer memory storage device — to reach a computer program
that said "Adjustment."

"A hundred percent of precincts reporting, and everything had been
distributed to the press," he said. "Then and only then did I see how
they were going to do this, and frankly I never thought it was possible.

"Basically it turns out, without regard to any ballots that have
been cast, you can enter arbitrary numbers in there and report them out
in such a way that, unless you go back to these giant (computer) logs
and interpret the logs, you wouldn't know it has been done."

Hart has converted nearly the entire state to e-Slates. What do you think the security of your ballot might be in a rural county -- or a more urban one, where there are more votes/

Who needs to hack the vote when you can just bribe a county elections official?
