"The Security Group at the University of California in Santa Barbara has 
released the video that shows the attacks carried out against the 
Sequoia voting system. The video shows an attack where a virus-like 
software spreads across the voting system. The coolest part of the video 
is the one that shows how the 'brainwashed' voting terminals can use 
different techniques to change the votes even when a paper audit trail 
is used. Pretty scary stuff. The video is absolute proof that these 
types of attacks are indeed feasible and not just a conspiracy theory. 
Also, the part that shows how the 'tamperproof' seals can be completely 
bypassed in seconds is very funny (and quite disturbing at the same time)."
