Hey, is Diebold involved in tonight's election at all?

Nosey Canadian wondering.

2. I've read it's mostly levers but there are some optical scanners.

Not sure how the votes are stolen with them.

3. Nosy Canadian answering:

My understanding is that Ct. has the old-fashioned hand-crankers, which Diebold does not make.

4. Depends on where you are.

Diebold was new in Kansas City this cycle.

[AtomicKitten]

5. no - they are still on the old lever system

Only Connecticut was voting today.

7. In Georgia for sure. 23,000 machines statewide. 100 percent Diebold.(n/t)

8. See this thread on CT's voting system...

I can't get my question answered, how is central tabulation done and who does it? They have mostly lever machines for the actual voting--which seem pretty solid and un-riggable. But, then what?

The SOS site apparently just went down--which may be the only electronic component of the system. Shades of Mexico.
