Competitor issues:

The widespread doubts about e-voting follow last year's release of reports prepared by elections officials in California and Ohio that found critical vulnerabilities in all the machines currently in use. Among the findings:

* An un-patched Windows 2000 server used by systems made by Premier Election Systems (formerly Diebold) left them open to a host of documented vulnerabilities that could allow it to be controlled by an attacker.

* An undisclosed account in the software made by Hart InterCivic could allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to officials' election management database.

* Physical locks in Sequoia's Edge system could be bypassed by unfastening screws.
