Most part of all this discussion is based on wrong information: the operating system of the Brazilia voting machines IS NOT Windows CE. It is VirtuOS, an old DOS like operating system... I have read and discussed about Diebold voting machines before on my blog (http://macarronada.blogspot.com/2006/09/voting-ma chines.html#links) and I understand that the process and hardware of the Brazilian machines are much better than the AccuVote-TS for example. They are simple, but better ( just remember: K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stupid). Just see the tests Princeton University professors did: http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/
