8. It's worse than that.

Command Central units come with two ePROM's, the chips that store
the operating software.

One ePROM is for all of the testing, training, etc.

The second is for the actual election.

That's like having a car with two engines. The first engine is the one
the salesman fires up for every "test drive." But then the one you
would have to use would be the second, the one for actual operation.

Would you buy a car like that? The machines were 'sold' through a
two for one swap, to 46 Wisconsin counties. Two brand new Command
Central touchscreen units (the kind that leave no paper trail) for every
used optical-scanning unit. That's the kind that leave a paper ballot
trail for hand audits, which were shipped back to the 3-person company,
Command Central, operating out of a St. Cloud, MN strip mall.

(Sorry, the original link to the Wisconsin Citizens Media Coop story
that carried that report is down tonight, as is their whole website.)
