PAC-MAN on a voting machine

This is the Sequoia AVC Edge touch-screen DRE voting machine. In 2008, it was used in jurisdictions with almost 9 million voters. Alex Halderman and Ari Feldman replaced the voting software with Pac-Man. They did this in three afternoons, without breaking any tamper-evident seals. It would be easy to modify the software to steal votes, but that's been done before, and Pac-Man is more fun.

Imagine a giant pac-man roaming the halls of Washington, eating politicians.

It would be great if you could filter out all the BS comments and follow a discussion on YT, i agree.

[CaptainRavioli]

Yeah, because all other youtube comments are always so totally relevant.

[PObserver]

What an interesting hooked nose that gentleman who is tampering with the voting machine has.

[pabbananna]

i think the culture of reddit is to blame for that.

did Wisconsin election officials see this video before accepting the offer to trade FOR FREE their paper-trailing optical scanners for THIS EXACT MODEL? What kind of a business offers FREE upgrades on equipment? why wasn't this video played to death on every news network? if you can play pac-man on it, what can't you do with it? is anyone awake?

snap! all hail our benevolent corporate overlords!
