A fitting touch of irony..

A company whose e-voting machines have come under fire from election officials in New Jersey confirmed today that its Web site had been hacked.
A section of Sequoia Voting Systems Inc.’s Web site was hacked overnight, and when the company realized what had happened, it took the site down and removed the “intrusive content,” Sequoia spokeswoman Michelle Shafer said via e-mail.
Sequoia made “security enhancements” to protect the site from further hacking, and it was back online this afternoon, Shafer said. The company is investigating the origin of the attack.
The hack was noticed Thursday morning by Ed Felten, a computer scientist who has been asked to investigate voting-machine discrepancies in the state’s primary election.

This doesn’t change my level of trust in electronic voting systems one little bit.
Zero it was, Zero it still is.

I wrote a very polite letter to the AG in NJ requesting they do independent testing of these machines and that the people of their fine state and the country deserve to have their true voices heard.
