BlackBox Voting Tests California Diebold Machines

Posted by samzenpus on from the too-little-too-late dept.

Doc Ruby writes "The California Secretary of State has invited Black Box Voting to hack away at some Diebold voting systems. The testing is set for Nov. 30, 2005. Evaluations conducted by Black Box Voting in San Joaquin, Marin, and Alameda counties (Calif.) reveal that a critical paper audit component is missing for all absentee and mail-in ballots, and also for recounts. (Black Box personnel were hired by the Libertarian Party to conduct inspections.)"

    What happens when you put a Sony Music CD into a Diebold machine?

    (you just *know* they've got Autoplay enabled in there. . . )

    I believe you. And I believe her. I believe everything I read on the internet. Especially accusations of Communism; they tend to ring particularly true.

    Sigh.

    Bev Harris is NOT a Communist.

    He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist... but he is *NOT* a porn star.
