Maryland's September primary - which used voting machines and electronic check-in equipment made by Diebold - suffered a series of mistakes, and the outcomes of some contests were not known for weeks.
In the wake of the problems, Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. and other politicians renewed their call to jettison the equipment. The governor has urged state voters to request absentee ballots, although use of the paper alternative raises different concerns about fraud.
But that's not all:

Posted: 10/21/06 at 12:37pmTo me, the question is not whether or not the machines are rigged. The problem is that they can be rigged, or hacked, or anything. The Diebold memos regarding their vulnerability came out what- 3 years ago? The only way to be totally safe is to stick with mechanical voting methods, but at the very least we need open-source voting software.
