Excellent article on an Latin American election hacker in Bloomberg.

Perhaps the election security is worse in Latin America, but I 
would not bet on it given the aging balloting machines in the US 
and a very long history of stuffing ballot boxes and Yellow 
journalism. Think the explosion on the USS Maine that took more 
than 75 years to provide a much more probable cause.

These days we are not so crude, and have a h$%^ of a lot more 
"security" people.

Also look at the confusion in the press between the FBI accessing 
what is on the iPhone versus cracking AES. Scare tactics not all 
that different than the USS Maine.

Best,

Allen
