Reply #2: Isn't this how this company counts votes?

Here one moment, gone the next?

I don't see how activists and whistleblowers can ever win with the money and power companies like Diebold can throw at them. And the people who are in charge of the elections across the country don't want to admit having made errors, so they refuse to even deal with the problems.

One thing I have to wonder, if they brush all this stuff under the carpet and try to pretend Bev Harris never existed, what happens the next time they get some strangely anomalous results? If Diebold machines are involved in any questionable election counts, won't the fact that their methods had been tested be brought up again and again? I mean if all the little old Jewish grannies in Palm Beach elect Buchanan on touch screen, isn't it going to be as suspicious as a Butterfly ballot or hanging chads?

Seems like we'll be challenging vote totals all over the place in 2004. Why doesn't the company wish to correct this problem and get a clean bill of health so to speak?
