Ask HN: Can the NSA influence electronic voting?
With the revelations about backdoors in encryption algorithms can the NSA change or modify votes by electronic voting systems in the US or around the world?
- cklaus 13y agoOf course they technically can. Most voting systems have major security flaws.
- salient 13y agoQuite easily, too, I'm sure.
- mschuster91 13y agoYou don't even need crypto knowledge to do that - most e-voting systems are susceptible to far easier attacks.

- mschuster91 13y agoROTFL. Sh..t, that is just dead stupid!
- a3n 13y agoOf course they can. All they need to do is intercept computer deliveries to the voting machine manufacturers. Do they? Even today, I still hope not. Still, if we've thought of it, they're way ahead of us. They may have even put mechanisms in place. Proof of concept. Any NSA employees care to comment?
