Daily Voting News For July 31, 2006
Upon examining the inner workings of one of the most popular paperless touch screen voting machines used in public
elections in the United States, it has been determined that with the flip of a single switch inside, the machine can
behave in a completely different manner compared to the tested and certified version. "Diebold has made the testing and
certification process practically irrelevant," according to Alan Dechert. "If you have access to these machines and you
want to rig an election, anything is possible with the Diebold TS -- and it could be done without leaving a trace. All
you need is a screwdriver."...
