04/25/2004 04:13 AMThe full story is over on Corante.On April 20th, the Oakland Tribune
published a story regarding Diebold's alleged use of uncertified
voting software in violation of California state law (Diebold knew of
legal risks). The article cited and focused on internal legal memos
from the Jones Day law firm showing that Diebold's own lawyers had
warned of some of the possible illegalities. Online, the Oakland
Tribune posted the documents in addition to the article. That
afternoon, the Trib's parent company and the reporter were sued by
Jones Day to have the documents returned. The judge ordered the
documents returned, except for those already published on the internet
(Judge: Tribune must turn over legal memos):Hmm, "already published on
the Internet", eh? Click on that link and download them. They
are the Diebold electronic voting scandal's smoking gun, dead body,
and confession note. All nicely presented, annotated, and
distributed, for your democratic pleasure.

E-Voting
Mistake Caught on Paper
In news at once frightening and reassuring, a Sequoia electronic
voting machine suffered a very public failure last week during a live demo. The machine worked fine with an
English-language ballot, but failed to record votes with the
Spanish-language ballot.
I still think
electronic voting is a bad
idea. Here is yet another example of a failure.

Mis-Record Votes
05/14/2004 03:14 PMOne of the silly arguments of those
defenin
g poorly designed electronic voting machines is that there's never
been any evidence that they miscount votes. Well, there goes that
argument. Found over at
Freedom
to Tinker is news of some research done on electronic voting
machines used in Florida elections that clearly show
the
machine's voting image and the audit logs do not match, which
could lead to votes being lost or not counted properly. What's scary
about this is that the report noting these problems was written
a
year ago and, even those these problems were known, the machines
were still used and the
same problems occurred again. As
always, the local election supervisor claims that, even though they
know about this problem, it's no big deal. She claims that the
only problem is with the audit system - and not the vote
tabulation. Of course, if the audit system doesn't match the vote
tabulation there's no way to know that the vote tabulation actually
works properly. Even worse, the "workaround" the supervisor came up
with was basically to use uncertified software. What's wrong with a
paper trail again?

Diebold voting machines vulnerability
08/31/2004 08:20 AM
Cory Doctorow:
Diebold's voting machines have a stunning security defect:
Manipulation technique found in the Diebold central tabulator -- 1,000
of these systems are in place, and they count up to two million votes
at a time.
By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes
is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer
matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals
from the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes,
and to date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security
measures to fully mitigate the risks.
This program is not "stupidity" or sloppiness. It was designed and
tested over a series of a dozen version adjustments.

Diebold Knew They Broke The Law With
Uncertified Voting Machines
04/20/2004 04:44 PMEvery time I read another article about Diebold, you wonder what's
really going on at the company. They clearly seem to be living in
their own little reality where they simply ignore the very important
questions people are starting to ask about their voting machines. I
wonder how anyone in their right mind could use a Diebold voting
machine after these fiascoes. Despite plenty of questions concerning
their voting machines over the past few months, Diebold didn't do
anything differently and
knowingly broke their contract (and the law) with Alameda county by using
uncertified software. Diebold's lawyers tried to get them around
this by suggesting they claim that the software was "experimental"
rather than "uncertified." Despite being clearly told not to do this,
Diebold went ahead and used the uncertified and barely tested software
which was rushed onto machines for the primary elections in California
last month. Even worse, when an employee spoke up to point out that
there was poor quality control and an aspect of the voting system was
likely to fail, he was quickly fired. When you put together all of
the information compiled over the last year concerning Diebold's
voting machines, their inability to comprehend why people are upset,
and what looks like their outright violation of the law, why would
anyone agree to use such a machine during an election?
