Diebold Voting machines risky, study concludes

[nascar55]

from the Columbus Dispatch "A new study raises serious questions about whether Diebold touch-screen voting devices used in more than half of Ohio’s counties produce accurate results, but Diebold insists the machines can be trusted and that the study is flawed."

1. Here's a bit more...

A three-month review of Diebold electronic voting machines used in Cuyahoga County during the May primary concluded that the votes recorded electronically and on paper receipts did not always match.

The election system, "in its entirety, exhibits shortcomings with extremely serious consequences, especially in the event of a close election," concludes the study, released yesterday by Election Science Institute (ESI), of San Francisco.

I'm glad to see these machines getting more scrutiny. It's typical of Blackwell's office to assert the machines were "exhaustively" tested prior to being used. :eyes:
