“DIEBOLD VOTING MACHINE KEY COPIED FROM PHOTO AT COMPANY’S OWN ONLINE STORE!”

I find it truly amazing that Diebold, one of the leading producers of touch screen voting machines, has such lax security standards.

The Brad Blog, which has broken a number of stories of Dielbold’s deficiencies over the last few years, has the story.

I think everyone should vote on a paper ballot. The system I have used for years is a paper ballot upon which one fills in a little circle with a pencil and which is read by an optical scanning machine. It is simple and reliable. Please write your congressperson to demand legislation that requires paper ballots for all elections. A paper ballot would at least require crooks to steal elections in the old fashion manner.
