Diebold Audit Released, BlackBoxVoting.Org Shut Down

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday September 24, 2003 @03:15PM from the censors-and-revelations dept.

Chris Soghoian writes "The State of Maryland requested an audit of the Diebold electronic voting system by SAIC, after a report released by Johns Hopkins University and Rice Researchers (disclaimer: I'm one of Dr Rubin's students) noted several security issues. A condensed, from 200 to 40 pages, and censored version of the report has been released online (PDF link). The report notes that 'SAIC has identified several high-risk vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have significant impact upon the AccuVote-TS voting system operation.'" However, Diebold says Maryland are moving forward with installation with "new security features" included, and elsewhere, Badgerman points out "Diebold has shut down blackboxvoting.org, apparently with copyright claims made to their ISP. But you can still go to the blackboxvoting.com site."

That's not odd if you consider that the ACLU is owned by one of the political parties.
So Bob Barr finally switched parties and became a Democrat? Good for him!
