from WISCONSIN COUNTS! Election Integrity group on facebook:
All precincts in both states use the ES&S M-100 optical scan ballot reader and the "HAVA compliant" ES&S AutoMARK machine.

THE ES&S AUTOMARK FLIPS VOTES (and also has an easily hackable SD memory card)...

...ALL BALLOTS (including AutoMARK) ARE TALLIED BY THE ES&S M-100 OPTICAL SCANNER / BALLOT READER:

SECURITY PROBLEMS / FLAWS WITH THE ES&S M100-

Medford, Wisconsin. March, 2005. ES&S programming "error" with ES&S M100 Opscan lost over 25% of the votes in the 2004 election. Oakland County MI - On October 24, 2008, Michigan Secretary of State and former Oakland County Clerk, Ruth Johnson, wrote a letter to Rosemary Rodriguez, then chairperson of the Election Assistance Commission questioning the accuracy of the M-100 ES&S machines used in Oakland County, pointing out that when they were tested, the machines produced conflicting vote totals, not only in Oakland County, but in other areas of the state.

PCMCIA MEMORY CARDS - programming and data on these removable cartridges Hackers can gain access to a system's memory [in this case Windows 7, but also applies to the M-series voting machines] through its PCMCIA port.

A paper written by researchers Christophe Devine and Damien Aumaitre of the European Security Expertise Center claims that hackers could infiltrate the 64-bit version of Windows 7 by going after kernel code stored in the PC's physical memory. The good news is that a hacker would need direct, physical contact with a system to carry out the invasion. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Memory-DMA-Hack-PCMCIA-Windows,10646.html [The bad news is plenty of people have direct, physical contact with our voting machines ]

South and North Dakota are among the 19 states where exit polling will no longer be conducted. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2012/10/04/networks-ap-cancel-exit-polls-in-19-states/

1. I am leery of exit polls not being conducted. I think there should

be some sort of method to check accuracy. This has a bad odor.
