Who knew? Maryland's Diebold Voting System "is the Best in the Country"

[Wilms]

They switch votes. They lose votes. They conk-out in the middle of the election.

Ex-felons took part in their programing.

They've been run with uncertified software in the last two general elections.

They've been hacked in FL. Decertified in CA. Feared in CO. Avoided in PA. Ignored in NY.

They've been sent back to the ITA that shouldn't have certified them because they're in violation of Federal Standards...

But, but, but...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The state election administrator and the maker of Maryland's electronic voting machines defended the state's system Thursday as the best in the nation, a day after Gov. Robert Ehrlich said he has lost confidence in the state's ability to conduct fair and accurate elections this year. (Wilms notes GuvWurld note.:applause: )

"Our system has been very accurate," said Mark Radke,:crazy: director of North Canton, Ohio-based Diebold Election Systems.

Radke met in a closed session with members of a House of Delegates subcommittee to discuss questions raised about whether the Diebold machines are susceptible to fraud.
"It's disturbing to see some of the false information that's been distributed," he said.:cry::nopity::cry:

State election officials all over the country "are very envious of what Maryland and Diebold have done," Radke said.:puke::puke::puke:

At a hearing before a Senate committee later in the day, Linda Lamone, state elections administrator, said Diebold touch-screen machines have been used in state and local elections in Maryland since 2002.

"During that time, there has been no occurrence, or even a credible claim, of fraud," she said.
:spank: (Wilms notes that using uncertified software might classify as fraud.) :spank:

John Willis, a former secretary of state and an acknowledged expert on Maryland elections, defended the Diebold machines.

"Maryland stands at the top of the county in voter accuracy. Maryland is the best in the country," he said.:eyes:
