UPDATE 2: See and/or contribute to: Black Box Voting Report on California irregularities

UPDATE: Wired News has an excellent piece Oct. 7 on the 4,000 fraud-ready Diebold machines in Alameda County, described as a "Democratic stronghold." The list of security holes is a mighty one.

Also see the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute Technical Report on the Diebold machines.



From a Board report of the County of Los Angeles Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk May 8, 2002:

The Supervisors’ recent approval of the Diebold contract for purchase of Touchscreen voting equipment enables us to move forward with plans to provide Touchscreen early voting access to County voters

TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS: Diebold is, of course, the voting company who recently quashed blackboxvoting.org by abusing international copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in order to seize the enitre web site. Black Box Voting had exposed the triple-bookeeping and zero security on their ftp servers. Diebold CEO is a "Bush Pioneer" fundraiser who has "pledged" electoral votes to Bush.

The Los Angeles Times did not make this connection in an October 3 piece on the happy fun touchscreens and early voting in Tuesday's California gubernatorial recall election and ballot initiative. That falls right in line with BlackBoxVoting.Org's Bev Harris' revelation of "six investigative reporters for huge outlets, who have called me and privately told me that they have been lobbying to cover this story and they have been told by their management that they are not to cover it."

LA Times reports 30,000 in LA County have voted on touchscreens so far and about 60% of about half a million absentee ballots have been returned. It's an old trick, even predating the touchscreens, to adjust the last numbers coming in, and those are often 'absentee' and 'early' ballots.

And other counties and cities in California are using Diebold and other touchscreen systems. The recall election was almost pushed back due to legal activism by the ACLU, which joins other "good government" fraud-fronts like Common Cause in arguing FOR these blatantly fraudulent systems as a civil right.
