Dr. Brin to answer Mike and the others defending diebold, it's precicely because the source code WAS leaked that some people (me, blackbox voting) really don't trust diebold. The leaked source code showed that the diebold software keeps 3 sets of books and has a backdoor built right in. Do you trust a company that keeps two or more sets of accounting books? Like say..Enron or Worldcom? No?
As for spot-testing the machines prior to and during an election: As a very good programmer I would find it Trivial to defeat such spot-testing AND still flip votes. Furthermore all it would realistically take is for machines to flip ONE vote per machine for all precincts to flip most elections. Absolutely Trivial. And posting comments in 'blogger' is...difficult. 'Blogger' is...Complete Garbage. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
