Abstract

This paper reports on an analysis of the Hart InterCivic DAU eSlate unit equipped for disabled access and the associated Judge’s Booth Controller. The analysis examines whether the eSlate and JBC can be subverted to compromise the accuracy of vote totals, the secrecy of the ballot, and the availability of the system under the procedures in place for Yolo County. We describe several potential attacks, and show how election officials can block or mitigate them.
