What on earth...
What are the designers of these things thinking? I assume they had system designers?
They really don't show any signs of being able to understand the big picture of what their product is supposed to be doing!
Unless of course the big picture is that they want to be able to sell an election result to the highest bidder... In that case then they aren't even very good at designing a corrupt system.
Honestly, given all the flaws in the old system, I find it amazing that any state allows Diebold, or whatever they have renamed them selves to this month, to do anything more complex than make freebie calculators to put in cereal boxes.
BTW, I was confronted by a Diebold cash machine in Slovakia once... I was too frightened to use it!
