Election Officials And Crackers Challenge Diebold

Rick Zeman writes "The Washington Post is reporting that election officials in Florida have manipulated election results in controlled tests. From the article: 'Four times over the past year Sancho told computer specialists to break in to his voting system. And on all four occasions they did, changing results with what the specialists described as relatively unsophisticated hacking techniques. To Sancho, the results showed the vulnerability of voting equipment manufactured by Ohio-based Diebold Election Systems, which is used by Leon County and many other jurisdictions around the country.'"

    But, Democrats will prefer Diebold machines now. I mean, if they can easily go in and alter the results, they have a better chance at stealing more elections and "taking back the majority."
