- California to sue Diebold over voting machine-related fraud .
- California's Attorney General Bill Lockyer said today that he is suing Diebold over fraudulent claims he believes that company has made with regards to their electronic voting machines. Kevin Shelley, Secretary of State in California, had said that Diebold was overly aggressive and misleading when they sold their voting machines to the state. ...
- "Lockyer determined sufficient evidence existed to go forward with a false claims lawsuit against Diebold," the statement said. The state's top lawyer earlier had dropped a criminal investigation of Diebold. ...
- Diebold has had a long and difficult relationship with California. ... Nevertheless, this kind of negative press for Diebold in specific and e-voting in general is becoming difficult to stomach this close to a presidential election. ...
- You may recall that Shelley banned the use of Diebold's AcuVote-TSx voting machines for the November elections. At that same time, Shelley asked the state to pursue criminal and civil action against Diebold for installing uncertified software on machines that were used in primary elections. While those probes have been dropped, a fraudulent claims suit will at least attempt to make some sense of how the state and Diebold rushed headlong into a voting scenario with no paper trail, and untested technology. ...
- Earlier this week, a judge in Maryland threw out a request for a preliminary injunction against Diebold's machines, ruling that they are in fact more secure than paper ballots. ...

- Happily, whenever the well is about to run dry, I can always count on Diebold to fail a test or do something ridiculous. ...
- The Diebold travesty du jour comes from Elise Ackerman's story in today's San Jose Mercury-News. The story recounts Diebold's response, in California, to the recent Raba report, which demonstrated that Diebold e-voting systems were prone to several serious security attacks. ...
- The story quotes Diebold's spokesman:.
- Diebold representative David Bear said Thursday that the integrity of next month's election was not at risk. ``I think it's important to reflect that the Maryland Department of Legislative Services concluded based on the Raba report that the election could be held successfully without any changes to the Diebold software,'' he said. ...
- Authors of the Raba report — the first hands-on attempt to hack Diebold voting machine systems under conditions found during an election — were careful to say that the machines, if not hacked, count votes correctly, and that issues discovered in the "red team" exercise could be addressed in a preliminary way in time for the state's primaries in March.
- But McCormack said Diebold had assured her the report referred to an older version of its software, and that a newer version was more secure.
- Raba report author Michael Wertheimer, a former senior technical director of the National Security Agency, said his team tested the most recent version of the Diebold software. ...
- My guess is that he is waiting for Diebold to dig themselves into an even deeper hole before he decertifies them. ...
- "Clearly, Diebold needs to get its house in order or it will not be allowed to continue to do business in California,'' said Shelley spokesman Doug Stone.

5. Ohio Counties to Adopt Diebold Voting Machines - January 18, 2004 - The Mill magazine
- www.gristforthemill.org
- Ohio Counties to Adopt Diebold Voting Machines.
- At least 35 counties in the state of Ohio have chosen to use a touch screen voting machine manufactured by Diebold, a company based in North Canton, Ohio.
- Diebold's Vote-Taker .
- The Mill has found that, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' contribution database, Diebold gave $100,000 to the Republican National Committee in 2000 and additional sums between 2001 and 2002 totaling $95,000. Including Diebold CEO William O'Dell's personal soft-money contributions of $5,965 during that cycle, the total amount of contributions exceeds $200,000 for the period. ...
- A further search of the database showed Diebold to be, of the four companies competing for contracts, the only one to contribute large sums to any political party.
- She said that without the ability to verify the votes cast, "If Diebold prevails, I am deeply worried about this state. We are very worried about Diebold controlling the smart card. ...
- Ehrlich Jr, is a Republican, has also opted to use Diebold's touch-screen system. ...
- An independent evaluation of Diebold's AccuVote-TS voting system by Science Application International Corp (SAIC) for Maryland concluded, "The system is at high risk of compromise. ...
- Another limited review of Diebold's voting technology, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Rice University, found that the "Voting Device Developer" - Diebold, in this case - would be able to "create, delete, and modify votes on device. ...
- Ohio enlisted Compuware to evaluate the systems, which found that Diebold's had the greatest number of "high" security risks, totaling five. ...
- The Sunday, January 18th editorial in the New York Times, "Fixing Democracy," stated, "Diebold is hardly alone among major voting machine manufacturers in contributing to elected officials, who represent virtually their only market. ...
- Of the companies with voting machines in the running in Ohio, Diebold alone made large soft-money contributions.
- Of those individuals within the other three companies that did contribute, the amounts are insignificant in camparison to Diebold's massive donations to the RNC. ...
- A spokesperson for Diebold told the Toledo Blade that it currently has the receipt-printing technology, but is waiting for governments to certify the new version.
6. Diebold Analysis Critique
- www.notablesoftware.com
- Diebold was one of the manufacturers that obtained contracts from states choosing to replace their voting systems in 2002. ... Even if the analysis of the code is correct in assuming that there were security flaws with the supposed Diebold software, one must note that the lax standards that existed at that time were all that Diebold was expected to comply with, so there may not have been a violation of election laws. ...
- With regard to Diebold Election Systems, prior to the 2002 fall primary and general elections, problems had already been noted in trial uses with their voting equipment, significant enough to cause four counties to commission a usability report from the University of Maryland. See Usability Review of the Diebold DRE by Bederson and Herrnson Although those UMD researchers were primarily interested in human factors, they felt it necessary to comment that one of the two voting machines they had tested did not function properly due to equipment failure. It is understood that the manufacturer subsequently corrected some problems prior to election use, hence at least one "earlier version" of the code did legitimately exist, as Diebold has stated with regard to the code that was discovered on their website. ...
- Since the entire process of voting system inspection and deployment has been shrouded in trade-secrecy, it is not possible to ascertain (without inside assistance) whether the code analyzed was actually, as the authors surmise, "used in Diebold's AccuVote-TS voting terminal. ... " Since the authors did not have access to the actual Diebold equipment, they do not truly know whether there is additional hardware and software that would provide safeguards against some of the security flaws they claim to have found. ...
- This is a serious flaw in the new (2002) voting system standard, but it was and is admissible in Diebold products because the FEC has not yet changed their stance, despite this vulnerability having been pointed out to them by numerous security experts. The authors' criticism of Diebold for a practice that the FEC and NASED has decided to condone is thus misdirected. ...
- Because we may never know whether the alleged Diebold code was actually part of a certified voting system, the proffered analysis may be no more than just an academic exercise. ...
