 Diebold Shows How to Make Your Own Voting Machine Key
 http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1113

Excerpt:

 According to published reports, nearly all the machines deployed
 around the country use the exact same key.  Up to this point
 we've been careful not to say precisely which key or show the
 particular pattern of the cuts.  The shape of a key is like a
 password --- it only provides security if you keep it secret
 from the bad guys.  We've tried to keep the shape secret so as
 not to make an attacker's job even marginally easier, and you
 would expect a security-conscious vendor to do the same.

 Not Diebold.
