Heads UP: NewsHour sched to do Electronic Voting Story today! |
|
In relation to the Calif. Recall and dangling chads. They got a Diebold rep to lie on camer
(sample :"Seiler says the Hopkins study was flawed.
Deborah Seiler, Deibold Voting Systems: THEY MADE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THIS BEING LIKE A PERSONAL COMPUTER, WHICH IT ISN'T. THEY MADE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THIS BEING HOOKED UP TO THE INTERNET, WHICH IT'S NEVER HOOKED UP TO THE INTERNET.
SM: SO HACKING IS OUT OF THE QUESTION?
Seiler: HACKING IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE THERE'S NO EXTERNAL ACCESS TO THIS MACHINE.")
LOL!
But at least it looks like they won't let Diebold have the last word, I hope.
Turns out that the biggest factor among California officials forcing them to go the touchscreen route is Disabled Voter access. They mentioned the paper trail and attendant problems, and end up handing it back to the citizens to do something about it.
Finger's crossed that this raises the alarm --and the stakes
