Though there is a laundry list of things that are wrong with Diebold's electronic voting systems, these three take the cake.

1) Based on Microsoft Access Architecture

2) Uses an encryption key (DES) that was hacked in 1997 and is no longer used by anyone else for security, for obvious reasons.

3) Administrator pin was 1111

On top of it all, there is no verifiable physical backup to these machines for recounts.
