Groups question voting machines' accuracy
E-Vote Software Leaked Online
Did E-Vote Firm Patch Election?
Bev Harris has the research and has written the book:
These are critical questions we need to continue asking.
Recount, replay, repeat. Normally well-informed people still are not aware of the depth of the
blackboxvoting revelations, nor are they aware of
16,022 mishandled votes for Gore,
(read Chapter 11 excerpt) the Georgia irregularities, or the fact that Diebold has been threatening
websites posting this information, and controversial
Diebold memos with cease and desist orders, including Swathmore College, (see
E-Vote Protest Gains Momentum ) who appears to now to have a instituted a renewed fight:

Diebold warns on electronic voting papers
EFF Defends Right to Publish Links to Electronic Voting Memos "There is a strong fair-use defense," Seltzer said. "People are using these documents to talk about the very mechanism of democracy - how the votes are counted. It's at the heart of what the First Amendment protects."
Newsweek, in possibly the first mainstream news mention of the term blackboxvoting,
writes:
Suspicions run even higher when people learn that some of those in charge of voting technology are themselves partisan. Walden O’Dell, the CEO of Diebold, is a major fund-raiser for the Bush re-election campaign who recently wrote to contributors that he was “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes for the president next year.”
Matthew Pascarella has much to say about the HAVA (Help America Vote Act) and it is far from encouraging, from
Conflict of Interest, to
Software Imperfections, and
Managing the Voter Rolls, it's a
must read.
