"I'm a software engineer and a digital circuit designer, and I am convinced that it is absolutely insane to base elections on electronic voting machines which have no audit trail and no means to recount the ballots. Diebold richly deserves all the grief it is getting. The company should have known better, and if it didn't know better it shouldn't have gotten into the business."

Same job here, and I couldn't agree with you more

Diebold management must be a particularly incompetent bunch.

Diebold management must be a particularly incompetent bunch.

I agree completely. But even more incompetent are the election officials in the localities where these machines have been purchased. They must truly be a bunch of losers if they can't see the inherent problems.
