Diebold's Election Data Off-limits

tommcb writes "The State of Alaska Division of Elections has denied a request by the Alaska Democratic Party for the raw file format used to tabulate voting results by citing that the data is in a proprietary format that is owned by Diebold. The ADP says 'The official vote results from the last general election are riddled with discrepancies and impossible for the public to make sense of'. The article contains some good quotes from Jim March of Black Box Voting: 'Copies of these kinds of files have been sitting on the Internet for over two years, with Diebold's knowledge.'"

Good someone is defending our second amendment INDIVIDUAL right to bear arms. And I say this as a left Green, a left Green however who believes we should defend ALL the bill of rights. Frankly at this point the freedom denying Dems annoy me just as much as the freedom denying Reps. Please count all the votes, make the data available to anyone to be peer reviewed, and don't eviscerate our bill of rights. Is that so much to ask of our politicians? Didn't they take an oath of office vowing to defend the constitution?
