Diego Aranha had found an exploit with brazilian voting machines back in 2017. They scrambled votes whenever every vote was cast using a CSPRNG, but initialized its seed with the time the voting machine had been turned on (rounded to the second), which due to voting protocols at the time meant you only had to have one person vote a specific way and bruteforce 3600 orderings to find that person's vote and destroy ballot secrecy for everyone else who voted on the same machine. Seems like this is the same mode of failure, which is strange considering diebold made the brazilian machines back then and should have fixed that. | ||

Wow, a Diebold voting machine with security vulnerabilities? You think they would stop making so many silly mistakes after two decades[0] of making faulty voting machines. What a bunch of silly clowns with their silly little whoopsies! Maybe they'll get it right someday. [0] https://www.wired.com/2006/09/e-voting-machine-an-easy-hack/ | ||
