There are many conspiracy theories out there about how any particular campaign might go about "fixing" an election. Well, as with so many good ideas these days, it appears someone has set up a nice website to make it that much easier. A web site called fixavote.com, which appears to be satire, claims to "guarantee" e-voting results.That's the mantra of Election Partners, whose slick Fixavote.com Web site offers such services as "real-time voter correction," and "enhanced retrospective tallying." The site features attractive stock-photography models and inspirational New Age music. "Using state of the art technology, we overcome the challenges of competition and ensure election results for our clients," the Web site states.
One journalist from PC World has tried the process and in the article the guy does say that about 30 political campaigns have contacted the site. This could be entirely made up as well, but it would definitely be amusing to find out that this is actually a honeypot to try to draw out campaigns that are actually looking to hack the vote.
