""They erroneously assumed these machines are like computers," David
Bear said of the computer scientists and hackers who claim they've
cracked voting-machine codes. "They are only plugged into the wall
for power; they are not computers [and] they're not plugged into the
Internet. A lot of these 'security experts' that have passed judgment
don't have an appreciation for the environment we're operating in.
They're saying these are how these things would operate in a
computer/Internet world, but we're not in a computer/Internet voting
scenario." According to David Bear, before elections the machines are
kept behind a locked door with a secure piece of tape covering the
slot where the memory card is inserted." David Bear, a spokesperson
for Diebold.
