Four minutes to penetrate voting machine security seals! Just how secure did you say your elections are?

See the screws holding the Diebold AccuVote optical scan machine together: There are five. We tried a Phillips-head screwdriver on the thing.

See the screws come out: What's inside?

See the left-side bolt. Can you remove it? We stuck a small Allen wrench into the bolt.

See that nut on the screw: (Red arrow) We got out a pair of pliers.

Is it possible that Diebold does not know this??? Grasp nut with pliers, twirl Allen wrench and see what happens.

See the bolt come off. But can you get the memory card out?

See the metal door pivot to the right: Remove the memory card.

We then put it all back together without leaving a trace. Cost for materials: $12. Time: 4 minutes to open, remove card, re-insert card and re-seal everything.
