  Brazil. Check this out. They even have a Linux support page, complete with screenshots depicting it running as root. https://seg.bb.com.br/duvidas.html?question=10 https://seg.bb.com.br/duvidas.html?question=10 https://seg.bb.com.br/img/faq/linux/verificar_modulo2.png https://seg.bb.com.br/img/faq/linux/verificar_modulo2.png I looked it up the package I posted above and found a gist with the unpacked contents: https://gist.github.com/fititnt/8d94b0574c6a4ec7e8c4088c64743969 https://gist.github.com/fititnt/8d94b0574c6a4ec7e8c4088c6474... Literally asks for your root password, downloads some proprietary software off the internet and runs them without even computing checksums or anything. Corporation that made this thing is owned by Diebold, the corporation that made our voting machines. Bone chilling.

      It's hilarious how some people's stance on voting machines did a 180 after the 2020 elections (or at least, all the pro voting machine people started coming out of the woodwork). Politics really is the mind-killer

        I remember when Diebold were Dick Cheney's personal election-riggers in 2004, although it seemed like a bad long-term plan since the plan was always for Bush to cancel elections in 2008, but I guess quarterly earnings are king.

      It won't help.
