(12\21\07) The death spiral for the 131 year-old company,
once respectfully known as Diebold, continues, as its stock price falls to a 5-year low today, near year's
end (currently $29.23/share and still sinking, from a 52-week high of $54.50/share), along with the additional news that the U.S. Department of Justice has now joined the SEC in an investigation concerning the company's "Enron-like" bookkeeping

E- Voting
with paper trail by
2008
?
2-7-07
WASHINGTON--A
push is under way by congressional Democrats to enact legislation that would require paper trails to accompany all electronic
voting machines in time for the 2008 presidential election.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that she expects
to introduce a bill within the next week that would revive earlier calls for such a mandate.
"I don't believe we can afford to wait and not require a voter-verified
paper record of each voter's vote," Feinstein said at the first hearing here of the new session convened by the Senate Committee on Rules
and Administration, of which she is chairman.
Details on Feinstein's proposal were still being finalized, but
aides said it will likely resemble a House of Representatives bill, sponsored by Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.), that was reintroduced
on Tuesday and has received endorsements from voter advocacy groups and some computer scientists.
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) said he is also drafting a bill that would
require paper verification in elections and allow review of the software on e-voting machines when the outcome of a race is
in dispute.
"Sometimes those machines may not do what we tell them to do, and
that's where we have to have a process by which we can verify whether or not that machine malfunctioned," he told the committee.

Feds to Toughen E-Voting Standards?
November 29, 2006 Feds to Toughen E-Voting Standards?
A federal agency is set to recommend significant changes to specifications for electronic-voting
machines next week, internetnews.com has learned.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is recommending that the
2007 version of the Voluntary Voting Systems Guidelines (VVSG) decertify direct record electronic (DRE) machines.
DREs are currently used by more than 30 percent of jurisdictions across the U.S. and
are the exclusive voting technology in Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland and South Carolina.
According to an NIST paper to be discussed at a meeting of election regulators at
NIST headquarters in Gaithersburg, Md., on Dec. 4 and 5, DRE vote totals cannot be audited because the machines are not software
independent.

This is a tremendously important development. To be clear, the National
Institute of Standards and Technology is the group that oversees the formulation of the so-called federal "voting
systems standards." Those are the standards, such as there are any, which are in effect today at the federal level to
determine federal certification of voting systems. This report will likely have an enormous impact in shaping whatever
may happen next concerning any upcoming Election reform or legislation in DC.
But wait, it gets even better,
NIST agrees that paper trails don't cut it: "The NIST is also going to recommend changes to the design of machines
equipped with paper rolls that provide audit trails. Currently, the paper rolls produce records that are illegible or
otherwise unusable, and NIST is recommending that paper rolls should not be used in new voting systems.
[These
paper rolls are not the same as actual paper ballots used in optical screen voting. As Brad Blog explains, "Paper trails,
such as they are used with DRE/Touch-Screen systems, do not work. Voters don't verify them, elections officials don't
count them, they are not accurate, they can be gamed, they jam the printers which leads to voters being turned away
without being able to vote."]
BRAD BLOG - Yesterday Sarasota County, FL, began their state-run test audits
of the paperless ES&S touch-screen systems used in Florida's 13th District House race where 18,000 votes disappeared,
resulting in a 369 vote margin between Christine Jennings (D) and Vern Buchanan (R) to fill the seat vacated by former
Secretary of State of Katherine Harris. The first day of testing revealed miscounting errors on all four of the machines
used during the test, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and at least two citizen observers who blogged their
account of the day's testing. The results differed from the votes in "scripted" ballots that state testers had punched
into them. Ironically, the errors ended up giving Jennings a higher vote total than she should have had according
to the prepared voting scripts. At least three votes recorded as under-votes in the election changed to Jennings votes
in today's "audit." That's comes out to an approximate 7% shift in a race decided by less than two-tenths of one percent.
