Results from any Diebold machine now suspect for midterm elections

The Associated Press reported yesterday that several memory cards were "lost or stolen" during Cuyahoga County's May 2006 primary, jeopardizing the November vote count of 48 of Ohio's 88 counties that use Diebold electronic voting systems or central tabulators. http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/news/state/15696778.htm

"Anyone who has physical access to a voting machine, or to a memory card that will later be inserted into a machine, can install malicious software using a simple method that takes as little as one minute," computer scientists from Princeton University reported last month. http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting

Nationwide, the election results from any Diebold machine are now suspect, with these stolen memory cards in circulation. In 2003, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) warned that altered memory cards could allow someone with physical access "to falsify election results without leaving any record." http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~rivest/voting/reports/Fischer-ElectionReformAndElectronicVotingSystemsDREs.pdf

Forty-eight counties in Ohio use Diebold technology, representing more than half of Ohio's registered voters. In May, the Secretary of State's office released confirmation of which counties purchased which voting systems for use in November's midterm election. (A map showing which Ohio counties are using which technology will be posted shortly at www.GuvWurld.org, key word search "Rady," scroll list of articles for "2006 Map Ohio County by e-Vendor")
