OK black box votin' experts, here's one for you:

Is there any recursive linkage between the "Ballot Text" in the Diebold GEMS Touch Screen configuration parameters, so that the candidate's name on the e-ballot HAS to match the vote tabulation record for the same candidate? (I'm not talking about the Bev Harris "hack" that switched totals in MS Access, I'm talking about Touch Screen Configuration.)

In other words, if Ballot Text is editable (to appear any way you want on the screen), what prevents a vote for "Kerry" from being counted as a vote for Bush, or vice versa?
