Scroll to article's end and RECOMMEND *5-star* for YAHOO NEWS exposure of Brad Friedman's important story:

Brad Friedman: No Confidence in the Busby/Bilbray Election

TO REVIEW: The election was run on highly hackable Diebold voting machines that were sent home overnight and unsecurely with poll workers for days prior to the election which rendered the machines both illegal and uncertified for use in the election under both federal and state laws, requirements and statutes. The GOP has since rushed to swear-in Bilbray before the votes were counted, or the election even certified by the state of California.

See any of the links above for corroborated, sourced and detailed information.

And keep in mind that it's recently been revealed that Diebold voting machines can have their entire election software, operating system, and even computer firmware ("BIOS") overwritten in less than two minutes with no password necessary, should anybody gain unsupervised physical access to the
machines.

Note also that on the PBS News Hour last night, David Jefferson, Livermore Labs computer scientist, and a member of the CA Sec. of State's own team of independent analysts who looked at the recently discovered massive security flaws in Diebold's systems was quoted as saying:

particular vulnerability is serious enough that you can affect multiple machines from a single attack. That's what makes it so dangerous.
