That little yellow button...

Earlier I said don't count 'em before they're reported. Here's another reason why.

It seems that electronic voting machines in use in California (and no doubt other states) have one teensy-eensy little election integrity concern that heretofore had gone unreported: a little yellow button that allows multiple votes to be cast by anyone who knows of it (via Brad Blog):

"Just push the yellow button and you can vote as many times as you want," Tom Courbat, an Election Integrity advocate from Riverside County, California informed The BRAD BLOG tonight. Not that we're in any mood to report more such stories, but this seems to be a big one. A very big one. It seems there's a little yellow button on the back every touch-screen computer made by Sequoia Voting Systems, that allows any voter, or poll worker, or precinct inspector to set the system into "Manual Mode" allowing them to cast as many votes as they want.

... it is now confirmed that all such systems are completely vulnerable to virtually anybody who wishes to cast as many votes as they please.

"I can do it in 18 seconds," says Watt. "I can train you to do it in 3 minutes. Just push the yellow button, wait 3 seconds and it chimes. Push the yellow button again, wait 3 seconds and it chimes again. Then it's all on the screen prompts. You're asked 'Do you want to enter manual mode?' and you push 'Yes'…And then you're on your way."
