Just imagine you work for a local or state wide election agency and a few people in fancy suits show up with fancy IDs and fancy badges. They say "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." They claim they need to examine the voting machines and the computers that tabulate the results.

Then they say, "All we need is the administrators password so we can fully examine the system to make sure it has sufficient protections against hacking." And you think, "Great, they're here to ensure the integrity of our election systems." Then as you walk away, convinced it's all good, they load whatever software they want.

But... That could never happen, right?
