That purveyor of all things craptacular , as it pertains to electronic voting, is in the news again . Diebold Premier Election Solutions has admitted that there is a problem with the touch screen voting machines in Ohio. Originally the vendor had blamed antivirus software for the problems that they were experiencing.
( natch )
From The Columbus Dispatch:
But in a letter Tuesday to Brunner, Premier President David Byrd admitted that further testing showed a source-code error that can cause votes not to be recorded when memory cards are uploaded to computer servers under certain circumstances.
“We are indeed distressed that our previous analysis of this issue was in error,” Byrd wrote.
Brunner is suing to recover the millions of taxpayer dollars spent to buy Premier touch-screens after she said an investigation this year showed that votes in at least 11 counties had been dropped in recent elections.
