The Chicago Tribune has reported this evening that someone has hacked into the DuPage Co. Illinois Election. Under a list of qualifications for voters someone had added a new requirement that a voter may not be a homosexual.
Once the county election office was notified of the attack they removed the newly added requirement and took actions they thought would stop any further attacks. However, later on Thursday or sometime this morning another requirement was added that proclaimed, “Your grandfather must have voted.”
WOW! Just unbelievable. I don’t know what else to say.
I had to :-), sorry. Someone is proving how easy it is to do IMHO.
I’m waiting for the touchscreen that looks like a fast food franchise cash register. You know, where can “vote” for “the Whopper” or “no onion.”
Hello Congress! Emergency Session!
Hey I just watched “V For Vendetta.” Interesting…….
Very interesting!
Although the website code is entirely separate and different from the voter registration and election vote-counting systems, this hacking does not bode well for the integrity of voting in DuPage County where I lived in my childhood. The voting systems are not much more secure (if at all) than the website’s code. If someone does mischief with the website, one wonders if they intend to do the same with the election system.
Good…I’m FOR them hacking into databases…to prove how is….
No one hacked into this database…that’s “tin foil hat”…”conspiracy theorists”…
I live in Dupage. The election is already fixed, at least for Denny Hastert. How else could such a full blown dickweed win? Maybe some Dem or Indy hacker will be able to get into the Sequioas and give the Repubs a run for their money.
I heard that Draconian Shapeshifters are making the little grey aliens do it on purpose because they have no anuses.
