Diebold Voting Machines Audited by California

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the who-didn't-see-this-coming dept.

Panaqqa writes "Diebold must be wondering what else can go wrong. Considering their arrogance in the past, their comeuppance is truly well deserved. The State of California's source code review [PDF] of the Diebold voting system has been released. Additional reports will be made available as the Secretary of State determines that they do not inadvertently disclose security-sensitive information. One wonders what it will take to convince voting machine manufacturers not to do things like hard coding passwords as '12345678.'"

    Couple countless vote rigging and voter suppression stories in the past with this story and
    the fact that Republicans are still trying to 'game the system'shows that they are out to win regardless of principle or honesty.

    They got their asses kicked in 2006, polls show more is coming in 2008 yet they still act
    like thugs. I guess these cretins are gluttons for punishment and deserve to be in
    the political Siberia they are due for.
