Question: How would the terrorists ensure it hurts the people they want and not their own?

Came to the comments just to look for this.
I actually agree. I loved playing Siege and think they did a great job handling micro transactions. But couldn't resist posting a meme.
Does Hitler have any memorable quotes though?
I stand corrected
Something about aesthetics without a single image in the post?
But let me get this straight - this requires access to the voting machine in a way that allows installing software that somehow intervene with the existing voting software.
And perhaps I am naive here, but I would assume that such a voting machine runs either
- custom firmware / embedded operating system
- custom version of Windows
- custom or special purpose Linux
- Windows in kiosk mode so normal users can't access other application than the voting software nor OS settings.
As a minimum I would assume kiosk mode, but to be honest I would expect much more than that from a voting system, including tightened security and no or very limited interoperability between the voting software and other software on the machine. And I am not seeing any nasty malicious system-level code in the repo.
And yes, as you highlight, it is hard to buy this chain of events and yes, voting machines are a bad idea. As a technical person it sounds like conspiracy theorizing.
But.. But.. The stick is unfoldable!
I guess you are getting downvoted because you come of a little aggressive, but yeah, I also don't see the real danger with these scripts by themselves.
