Welcome to Texas, Where Big Brother Can Change Your Vote

Last year I posted several items about potential problems with the electronic voting machines used in Maryland (a few samples are here, here, and here). Well, another year has gone by, I'm in Texas now and election day is fast approaching.... Imagine my chagrin when I stumbled across this:
At least one of the electronic voting systems used in Texas "allows anyone with access and a passcode to modify vote totals from an election without leaving any record of the modification."
Doh!

Ah, well, at least Texas isn't alone, Verified Voting reports that the same system is used in 16 other states as well. Nice!
