I've setup my fair share of routers and it seems to me that some of the newer larger routers that are setup to do packet prioritization can and do in fact attempt to look inside the packet to determine what it is and if it should be prioritized etc.
The paranoid side of me is wondering if they are in fact sniffing the data and logging it on a server using the router. Think about it... if its not highly encrypted they could in theory look at the network printer traffic and see what is printed on the ballot. With timestamps from when they checked your ID etc they could make VERY good guesses as to who voted what.
Just remember in the end the router is god. It controls everything. Even the guy as root on the console of a server doesn't argue for long with the guy on the console of a router. Not if he wants to talk to anything else.
Hmmm... now I'm really wondering what they've been up to.

Correct, but they could pull the static routes out of the config for a start.
I need to cut that Q or something similar on my table
