... was it TS or OS? If OS, it had a TIF of each ballot scanned, as written upon.

If it was TS, the image is generated from the stored ballot information. There is no image of an actual ballot--in TS, it's all virtual.

Fuckin' bozos. They don't even know the equipment they bought.

As for the last sentence, can someone in Georgia convince the Attorney General to seize a randomly-selected machine to verify the claim?

On edit, here's where it might get sticky. Diebold can claim a different software version was used. But, the only way to know if that version is (was) substantively different is a line-by-line examination. That means someone has to get their paws on a machine in storage and check the OS and the Diebold software line by line from the supposedly "up-to-date" version. If the code is modified insignificantly, but a new version number is written to it, they're done for, dead nuts. If the code is demonstrably different (i.e., all the security issues resolved, all the previous code inconsistencies repaired), then Diebold has a reasonable claim.

Why can't someone make a citizen's arrest on a voting machine? *smile*
