Califlorida? E-Vote at 'High Risk of Compromise'

Despite the release of a comprehensive report on Wednesday that showed the Diebold touch-screen voting machines to be "at high risk of compromise," election officials in California say they have no plans to replace the machines before the upcoming gubernatorial election.

The report (PDF), commissioned by the governor of Maryland after researchers at Johns Hopkins and Rice University found that the Diebold software was badly written and full of serious security flaws, confirmed that Diebold's AccuVote-TS system "as implemented in policy, procedure and technology, is at high risk of compromise."

Anyone taking bets on how the vote counting will go in California? We may never know!

As I said in another thread:

Remember WI, MI, IO, IL and several others in the 2000 Election? The Dems won by just enough to be within or almost within the recount range. With electronic voting with paperless ballots and ether-ballots, you will be seeing more and more close votes...for the Dems. The question is: how do you have or call for a recount of electronic votes, ether-votes, paperless-hard-copy-less ballots that are in a server?

Not only that, the algorithms for totalizing the votes is NOT available to the public. The effort is of course, to absolutely steal the elections while giving the people the illusion that they are selecting who runs the country.

There is far too much hatred in the Democrat party to believe that they would not resort to program tampering.

In fact Ground Zero Broward of 2000 infamy is talking of abandoning the e-voting due to reliability and integrity problems. No paper trail is the HUGE issue.

On bulk eraser and zap, nasty republican votes vanish.

Are the programs written in Silicone Valley and I can't seem to remember, was that in the red or the blue portion of the voting map of the U.S.?

[longtermmemmory]

Silicon valley is (i believe) populated by limosine liberals who blame GWBush for the poping of the tech bubble. Gore zone.

(bump for california recall thread) Of course, the DUh crowd has long believed that the Diebold machines are a Republican plot, because the current CEO of the company is a big-time GOP donor.

All I know is, if both sides are equally convinced that computerized voting machines are going to be tampered with, they are doomed to lose their legitimacy and should be jettisoned before a REAL tampering case comes along.

[longtermmemmory]

yes

[hoosierham]

Any system without a PHYSICAL piece of paper, colored rock or whatever that can be stored and counted there will be electronic tampering.
