If stealing votes is now so easy that teenagers in Finland can do it, then what's stopping the deep pocketed corporate shmucks from hiring these teenagers to swing the vote their way? All you need to do to hack a vote right now is a $50 card, a $5 mini-bar key and 2 minutes of alone time with the machine. Which is exactly what you get in the voting booth. It's so easy in fact, that the same machine could possibly be cracked 2-3 times during the course of the day without anyone ever noticing... Heh.. Perhaps if everyone tries to hack the vote at the same time we will end up with some semi-random, moderately acceptable results though...
