The issue of the lack of security in regard to the Diebold voting machines is pressing due to the coming of the November elections. Primarily, many groups are concerned with the tampering with of the voting machines. As demonstrated in the Princeton video, it does not take much to put software into the machines that tamper with the results of the election. People can place a virus or other types of cheating software onto a removable memory card that uploads the program onto the machine when it is being booted up.
If I was in charge of the California elections this coming November I would be sure that these machines were not used unless the security issues are resolved. A lot of time needs to be spent in order to ensure the legitimacy of our election's results. To make sure the process is fair, it might take going back to paper ballots that are read electronically by machines in a secure location. The electoral process will never be perfect. However, steps can be taken to improve it.
