Re: Weasels!
In the past, they (various voting machine manufacturers) have tried several different tactics to stop the devices being tested at all.
For a start, part of the contract of sale prohibited the owner performing security tests or letting security tests be performed on the machines, they tried to restirc the resale of old machines, so they couldn't be bought by pen-testers and they tried using the DMCA to stop the machines being tested.
So, yes, they tried a lot of things in relation to security, but more in the direction of burying their heads in the sand and silencing anyone who could tell them they had loused it up.
