How they might have rigged it
Is it really this breathtakingly simple?
Those who are not technically minded (which, even in a world that is wired, linked and connected up, down and sideways, is nearly everyone) would conclude that no, it couldn't be.
But of course it is. If it turns out to be true that Diebold's machines run an Access-type database, then this duplication of tables is child's play to have programmed in. You could have a reporting tool that systematically cheated.
How would we ever know
I find it rather unlikely that anyone at Diebold is going to confess. It would have only taken a few people. And these people are fiercely loyal to one another. The prize is what counts for them...
