Best of Black Box? N/A
Votes: 0

Posted on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 - 12:47 pm:   
I just voted on a Diebold optical scan system in Ann Arbor, MI. I had a nice little argument with the pollworker about the reliability of that type of machine. I didn't remember what specific things I had read about it, but I could tell there was no way I could verify that it was counting my vote correctly. I googled "Diebold optical scan voting machine" afterwards and found this page. Is there any reason to believe these machines have been improved since this report was issued?
 

The public must be able to see and authenticate these four essential steps for an election to be public, democratic, and valid: (1) Who can vote (voter list); (2) Who did vote (3) The original count; (4) Chain of custody.
