Wednesday, December 17, 2003 - Digital voting giant Diebold Election Systems took a staggering blow Wednesday as California officials reported that Diebold ran uncertified - and in some cases untested - software in all 17 counties where it counted votes in the state's last two elections.I've had more on this here, here, and here .
What began as a scandal in Alameda County swept statewide as every county served by Diebold realized its software was not state certified, and three counties, including Los Angeles, found that some of their software never had been tested by a federally designated lab. ...
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley made a rare appearance before the state's Voting Systems Panel to hammer home his expectations of Diebold.
Shelley said he hoped the panel would not recommend decertifying Diebold, that is, prohibiting use of one or more of its voting machines. But if state officials continue to find "gross discrepancies," Shelley said, "I'm prepared to go down that road."
