Diebold Illegally installs uncertified E-Voting software
by Abaddon at 9:29 pm EST, Jan 15, 2004

] This Thursday, January 15 the Secretary of State's Voting
] Systems Panel will meet in Sacramento to discuss the
] status of Diebold and its voting systems in California.
]
] {snip}
]
] Back in October 2003, Diebold sought state certification
] of its newest voting machine, the Accuvote-TSx, a lighter
] version of its current model, the Accuvote-TS, used in
] Alameda and Plumas counties. But just before
] certification was taken up by the Secretary of State's
] Voting System Panel (VSP), the Secretary of State's
] office learned that Diebold had installed an uncertified
] version of its software into Alameda's voting system
] prior to California's historic, October 7 recall
] election.
]
] {snip}
]
] Because Diebold's actions in Alameda were a violation of
] state law, the Secretary of State ordered an audit of all
] 17 California counties using Diebold voting equipment,
] which includes touchscreen as well as paper-based optical
] scan systems. Preliminary results of that audit were
] released at the December 15, 2003 VSP meeting.
]
] The audit found that Diebold had installed uncertified
] versions of software or firmware in all 17 counties it
] services in California. In five counties, the audit
] showed that the versions of software Diebold reported to
] auditors that the counties were using were not the same
] versions as the auditors found in use in those counties.
] In three counties, including Los Angeles, which used
] Diebold touchscreens for early absentee voting, the
] software used was not only uncertified by the state but
] was not approved by the federal government, either.

I can't say that I'm suprised...
