A few elections ago I saw a post about a professor who every election would go around his section of the country to polling locations before election day to see if he could gain access to voting machines. He never broke into any rooms or snuck through security. Instead he would just walk into these locations through unlocked doors where no one was around to stop him. The machines were usually sitting in a dark room just waiting to be plugged in on election day. He never actually did anything but would just take a picture to show how easy it was.

Is this kind of early unfettered access to a voting machine a security issue?
