LAWSUIT * Voting machine engineer sues, alleges machine design flaws. A  
test
engineer for DRE "touch-screen" voting machines reported over 250  
errors... Lawsuit
indicates that the company did not address the flaws, and that the voting  
system was
certified by independent testing labs despite known flaws.  

 

Bookkeepers, Accountants Voice Opinions:

Accounting industry input: insider@blackboxvoting.com. What constitutes a  
proper
audit? The key is independent verification. No matter how many times you  
have a
computer rerun its own results, you are still relying on only one source.  
The independent
source needed: Voter-verified paper ballots, deposited in a secure ballot  
box and retained
for audits.  

 

In the book...

- ONE MAN IS GETTING HANDS-ON ACCESS TO THE SOURCE CODE ITSELF
for every voting machine in America. No one checks the source code after  
it leaves his
hands. Who is he, and who chose him, and what does a background check  
reveal?
