Who's your voting machine been sleeping with?

A a couple of 54-year old women from Black Box Voting bought $12 worth of tools and in four minutes penetrated the memory card seals, removed, replaced the memory card, and sealed it all up again without leaving a trace. This experiment shows that the seals do nothing whatever to protect against access by insiders after testing, and the seals also are worthless in jurisdictions like Washington, Florida, California, and many other locations where voting machines are sent home with poll workers for days before the election.
These are the voting machines sent home with poll workers for "sleepovers" of days or weeks prior to elections by officials in San Diego (where the Busby-Bilbray primary result is now being contested, King County, Washington, and elsewhere. The "recipe" for tampering with the memory cards in these machines has been on the internet for over a year.
