November Surprise
Electronic Voting Machines Add Uncertainty to Close Election Race
By Stephen Miller, September 8th, 2004
Yesterday, the Attorney General of California took legal action against
Diebold Election Systems seeking civil damages and guarantees for future
performance on over $13 million worth of voting terminals purchased by
Alameda county. Across the U.S. dozens of election commissions, county
clerks and voting registrars are scrambling to maintain public
confidence in an election system shaken by the 2000 Presidential
election and worries about failures by hi-tech electronic solutions. In
the swing states, where the presidential election is expected to be
close, 14 of 20 states will be experimenting with untested technology.
