and actually, they do know how widespread the problem is and it isn't "dropped votes" -- at least not according to the GOP IT experts. It's dropped democratic votes, vote switching devices like the ones found in Georgia on the diebold machines, etc. And voter fraud which he alluded to does not exist in any real way in terms of individuals voting who do not have the right to vote (DOJ has spent last 8 years investigating dems desperating trying to find voter fraud -- some of the attorneys were fired because they couldn't find evidence of it and refused to manufacture said evidence). election, not voter, fraud happens, according to GOP worldwide computer security expert Steven Spoonamore, in a way which benefits Republicans.
OK. Here's more:

The Fraud Behind Diebold's Touchscreen Certifications
With the release today of a declaration by Professor Richard Lee PhD (attached), a trail of investigation lasting three years comes to an end.
EXECUTIVE BRIEFING
The net result of this investigation is that Diebold's Federal certifications for their touchscreen "voting system" product line is revealed as having been obtained by Diebold's fraud. Therefore, their certification documents at the state level, commonly known as "NASED numbers", are worthless. It is a basic principle of US and prior English law that any document, contract, deed, diploma, certification or other credential obtained by way of fraud is legally valueless.
The chain of evidence is as follows: * In 2003 a Diebold internal memo was released in which the top technical officer for the elections division (Talbot Iredale) ordered underlings NOT to release customized Windows CE operating system code (found on all Diebold touchscreens) to Wyle Labs.
* On 3/27/06 Wyle testified before a California legislative hearing that they treated Windows CE as "COTS" (Commercial Off The Shelf) and hence did NOT do source code review as required of any customized code by the Federal Election Commission rules.
* On 8/3/06 Professor Richard Lee PhD released a declaration describing how Windows CE works – specifically to what degree it is customized for the hardware environment. Per Prof. Lee and all other published sources on Windows CE, this "Compact Edition" is sold by Microsoft as an unfinished "kit" that must be completed by a hardware vendor such as Diebold. Windows CE therefore cannot be treated as "COTS".
Once assembled, these three pieces of information lead to only one conclusion: Diebold defrauded the Federal certification process.

There are four pages of evidence attached to this pdf. I'm happy to send it to anyone who wants it or can get coverage regarding this issue.
