9. its a totally different business for one thing
in elections you can not connect the voter to the ballot in any way: that is what the secrecy of the ballot is all about. But that same secrecy of the ballot destroys the audit trail and makes elections radically unaccountable

Not sure what diebold's problems all are, but I do know that touch screen ATMs are a TOTALLY different product and process than touch screen voting machines, for the above and other reasons.
