All the talk about the NSA surveillance has got me thinking. How hard would it be for them to snoop on voting machines? Is this even feasible? If this is possible, how hard would it be to believe that they have altered/snooped on elections if they had the power to do so. This could be a stupid question. But I am just thinking out loud.
Why would they bother? Doesn't look like either party has different feelings/actions towards them. They seem to be doing fine with whoever is in charge.
If it means anything, that question has occurred to me, too. I think it would be pretty easy to snoop or hack US voting machines, except that the storage and care of those machines is so decentralized.
I don't think it's a stupid question at all.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6218004" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6218004</a>
Voting is essentially a joke to begin with, it's always the same families you're voting for, anyone else who rises up in popularity can be coerced out of their position.
