Diefending Diebold


I feel a little better about Memphis' missing voting cards after reading this report from the Commercial Appeal--in particular because the cards would have to be re-programmed/over-written with code that is unique to Shelby County's election software.

But it is kind of entertaining to watch Democrats defending Diebold electronic voting machines.

Which Democrats are defending Diebold?

This story makes me glad that Davidson County decided to go with large cartridge type systems which use what looks like an old Sega video game to turn on the machines. Makes it a lot harder to "lose" or go missing. From the Appeal story, it sounds like voters are given the cards to activate the machines...if that is the case, that ain't cool.

Which Dems? All the ones quoted in the article, which is to say, Dems with nothing to gain by undermining confidence in the process.
