7. OH: Diebold taking blame for invalid election results
Diebold taking blame for invalid election results



Thursday, December 7, 2006

The Fairfield County Board of Elections recertified official election results last week after an error attributed to the voting machines' manufacturer produced inaccurate final vote counts.

According to elections board director Deborah Henderly, Diebold Election Systems failed to notify the county that the vote tabulation process required a change because the Ohio Secretary of State's office had removed Issue 1 from the ballot prior to election day Nov. 7. Consequently, the final summary reports certified by the board on Nov. 28 included some incorrect results, although the county's machines recorded all ballots accurately, she said.

Diebold had informed some other county elections boards that purchased voting machines from the company of the modification, but failed to alert Fairfield County.

The company has acknowledged fault for not notifying the board in time.
