How they could steal the election this time by ronnie dugger

The potential for fraud and error is daunting. About 61 million of the votes in November, more than half the total, will be counted in the computers of one company, the privately held Election Systems and Software (ES&S) of Omaha, Nebraska. Altogether, nearly 100 million votes will be counted in computers provided and programmed by ES&S and three other private corporations: British-owned Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, California, whose touch-screen voting equipment was rejected as insecure against fraud by New York City in the 1990s; the Republican-identified company Diebold Election Systems of McKinney, Texas, whose machines malfunctioned this year in a California election; and Hart InterCivic of Austin, one of whose principal investors is Tom Hicks, who helped make George W. Bush a millionaire.

3. this report has some information

though I still wonder about the Ohio being almost all electronic. you may want to look at other sources to get a full overview (this is by Election Data Services, and released in May of 2004 http://www.electiondataservices.com/EDSInc_DREoverview.pdf

here is one of the tables from page 10
