a $7.5 million study has found several problems with voting machines. Dan Wallach, associate director of ACCURATE (A Center for Correct, Usable, Reliable, Auditable and Transparent Elections), stated "Present-day electronic voting systems have a variety of security flaws, many of which you have heard about. Of course, we can find problems with any voting system, but the present-day electronic systems enable fraud of a scale and simplicity previously unknown in the administration of elections." [1]

Wallach added that the most serious flaw is the possibility of viral attacks, where a single corrupted voting machine could spread that corruption, as part of regular processes and procedures, to every other voting system" [1]
