We probably all wondered at one point or another just how secure those voting machines were, you know, the ones we use every four years to elect a President? Turns out the answer is not-so-much as you watch this citizen playing Pac-Man on one of these spiffy patriotic machines. I love waking up to a good cup of irony, and the YouTube video below just takes the cake.

According to the video description, “this is the Sequoia AVC Edge touch-screen DRE voting machine. In 2008, it was used in jurisdictions with almost 9 million voters. Alex Halderman and Ari Feldman replaced the voting software with Pac-Man. They did this in three afternoons, without breaking any tamper-evident seals. It would be easy to modify the software to steal votes, but that’s been done before, and Pac-Man is more fun.”

Hell, if voters were allowed to play Pac-Man after casting their ballot, I’m sure we’d be seeing a huge increase in registered voters.
