Ohio Secretary of State Confirms 2004 Election Could Have Been Stolen (OpEdNews 12/14/07)
EXCERPT: “Ohio’s Secretary of State announced this morning that a $1.9 million official study shows that “critical security failures” are embedded throughout the voting systems in the state that decided the 2004 election. Those failures, she says, “could impact the integrity of elections in the Buckeye State.” They have rendered Ohio’s vote counts “vulnerable” to manipulation and theft by “fairly simple techniques.”

Election Software Lost In Transit (Wired 12/19/07)
EXCERPT: “More than a hundred computer chips containing voting machine software were lost or stolen during transit in California this week. Two cardboard shipping tubes containing 174 EPROMs loaded with voting machine software were sent via Federal Express on December 13th from the secretary of state’s office in Sacramento to election officials in San Diego County for use in optical-scan machines made by Diebold Election Systems. But on Monday, the two shipping tubes arrived empty… The chips contained firmware to run the optical-scan equipment that San Diego uses in its central counting office… According to Winger, chips with the new firmware were sent out to nineteen California counties that use the Diebold optical-scan voting machines. Only San Diego County reported not receiving the chips. The new firmware was being shipped to the counties because previous software had been changed following a top-to-bottom review of voting machine software and hardware that the state had recently completed… San Diego’s Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler, is a former sales representative from Diebold Election Systems” (now Premier).

EXCERPT: “Six counties still owe a combined $33 million on their touch-screen machines, which most bought hurriedly to comply with a new federal law banning punch-card and lever voting systems after the recount. Miami-Dade County alone must cast aside 7,200 touch-screen machines, for which it paid $24.5 million and still owes $15 million… Sequoia Voting Systems, which manufactured some of Florida’s machines, offered to buy them back for a bleak $1 apiece.”

EXCERPT: “Behrman said he was shocked when he saw German use a series of passwords and an “encryption key” — a series of numbers on a nail file-size computer memory storage device — to reach a computer program that said “Adjustment.” “A hundred percent of precincts reporting, and everything had been distributed to the press,” he said. “Then and only then did I see how they were going to do this, and frankly I never thought it was possible. “Basically it turns out, without regard to any ballots that have been cast, you can enter arbitrary numbers in there and report them out in such a way that, unless you go back to these giant (computer) logs and interpret the logs, you wouldn’t know it has been done.”
