Almost eight years ago we all knew about the chaos in Florida regarding the election. There have been reports of problems with touchscreen monitor voting machines recording the wrong candidates in early voting.
The touchscreen machines have been reported to be used by a third of American voters. They have an innovative interface by utilising colours to enable voters to cast ballots.
People in West Virginia, Colorado, Tennessee & Texas complained and reported problems with the touch screen system. The most common complaint with the touch screens were that they seemed to flip votes from Democratic choices to Republican ones, or vice versa.
A report from Princeton University confirmed that touch screen terminals used for voting could be easily manipulated & could be hacked in seven minutes, as well as this they claim that someone could replace the touch screen systems memory chip and replace it with another that could contain a malicious program that could be capable of changing results.
Thankfully these touchscreens were not provided by Subcom so please feel reassured when purchasing elo touchscreens from Subcom.
