Diego Aranha (and his peers) has been presenting strong cases and amazing proofs over the years why the software stack in those voting machines is bugged beyond repair (specially considering they never have permanent uncontrolled access to scrutinize it, because if they did they would uncover with evidences some very dirty stuff) and it's disgusting to see him being a target of ad hominem and FUD by many political leaders and electoral judges in Brazil. Just so you have more context on this. EDIT: Brazil has over 2 decades of electronic voting "experience", so you see how important papers like this one are for democracy and electronic voting in other countries

I have met Diego a few years ago at LatinCrypt, and if half of what he says is to be believed, it is much worse than that. It is not just the possibility that "very dirty stuff" might be uncovered. It is the fact that in spite of all the restriction the Brazilian government throws in his way, he still is able to find ugly stuff, and it is not so much mallicious as utterly incompetent.

Where not only the illiterate are allowed to vote but the vote is mandatory you have a demagoguery - not a democracy.
