EXCLUSIVE DOCS: MD'S 2003 DIEBOLD SECURITY REPORT NOW RELEASED! "THE PENTAGON PAPERS OF E-VOTING"!
Edited on Sun Nov-05-06 09:45 PM by BradBlog


BRAD BLOG EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: 'THE PENTAGON PAPERS OF E-VOTING' — THE LONG-SOUGHT 2003 STATE OF MARYLAND'S 'SAIC REPORT' ON DIEBOLD SECURITY VULNERABILITIES — NOW RELEASED IN FULL!

Previously Unreleased 200-Page Report Said to Document Some 180 Security Flaws and Recommendations Made to Diebold and the State


Still Unclear as to Who Made Changes, Additions, Redactions to Publicly Released 40-Page Version of Report…


On Friday night, we broke Rebecca Abrahams' exclusive story concerning the long-sought, yet never-released complete "Risk Assessment Report" of Diebold's electronic voting systems as commissioned by the state of Maryland from the Scientific Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 2003.

Tonight, The BRAD BLOG is releasing that report exclusively in full as given to us by Abrahams who says she obtained it from a source described to us as "a patriotic high-level state official." She says the source is "someone very close to this situation" in the Maryland government.

The original, never-before-released SAIC report was nearly 200 pages in all as completed, and details a number of extraordinary security vulnerabilities found in Diebold's AccuVote-TS (touch-screen) voting systems as deployed by the state of Maryland initially in 2002. The version of the SAIC report that was eventually released to the public, after extreme redaction, was a mere 38 pages long...

COMPLETE STORY, EXCLUSIVE RELEASE OF FULL UNREDACTED 2003 REPORT:

6. Three years later. And perfectly timed at that.
They privatized the democratic process. And here we go again, using these problem plagued machines. I'd like to see an emergency stay on this election. A restraining order to keep the machines away from voters. Not wait until 2008 to start an honest voting process.

10. No idea...

No idea. Perhaps the mods don't understand how important this breaking story is?? (and the effect that it may well have over the entire national election?)
