Comment : | The EAC should consider that adversaries could be spending tens or hundreds of millions of dollars per election cycle to defeat the security of voting systems. Furthermore, the development of attack technology has economyofscope. Once a few million dollars are spent developing an attack on a particular voting system, that attack technology can be reused for the lifetime of the system in every jurisdiction where that system is used. The security requirements of the VVSG are absolutely and utterly incapable of ensuring that voting machines are capable of withstanding attack by people with the expertise, motivation, and financing level identified.
