Studied 3 voting systems by type: DRE, DRE w/VVPAT, and Optical Scan. Brennan identified 120 vulnerability points.
Report is limited to identifying the least difficult way to alter results on a statewide basis. It is also limited to studying attacks that cannot be prevented by physical security and accounting measures taken by election officials. The analysis further assumed that certain fundamental physical security and accounting procedures were already in place.
Concluded that it would take only one person, with a sophisticated technical knowledge and timely access to the software that runs the voting machines, to change the outcome.
All three voting systems have significant security and reliability vulnerabilities, which pose a real danger to the integrity of national, state, and local elections.
