Dave FarberFrom: Freematt357@Subject: Ohio Halts E-Voting MachinesAssociated PressStory location:http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,61467,00.html06:22 PM Dec. 03, 2003 PTCOLUMBUS, Ohio -- The state's top elections official said Tuesday thatsecurity problems found in new touch-screen voting systems mean theywon't be in place statewide in time for the November 2004 presidentialelection.Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell said some of the new votingmachines would be installed in August, some in November and the restin 2005.That means some of Ohio's 88 counties still will be using punch-cardsystems for the 2004 election. Problems with punch cards in Floridaleft the outcome of the 2000 presidential race in doubt for more thana month.The four electronic touch-screen systems must be proven secure beforeOhio voters use them, Blackwell said. His office will work with themanufacturers to ensure the problems are corrected, he said.Ohio and much of the rest of the nation are upgrading voting equipmentunder legislation passed by Congress after the 2000 election.The state must ask the Federal Election Commission for an extension incomplying with the law, Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo said.Companies that tested the security systems of the four machine typesfound software that permits votes to be counted more than once, and arisk that unauthorized poll workers or others could gain access to thesystem.Identical passwords were discovered for more than one poll worker,while voting booth cases did not provide for locks, leaving a risk oftampering during transportation of ballots.Each of the voting systems provided by the four vendors -- DieboldElection Systems, Sequoia Voting Systems, Election Systems & Softwareand Maximus/Hart Intercivic/DFM Associates -- has multiple but notidentical problems, Blackwell said.Mark Radke, a Diebold executive, said the company already had fixedproblems in machines used in municipal elections in Maryland."These software enhancements will be implemented in all touch-screenunits deployed within Ohio and the process-related questions areaddressed in the Diebold Election Systems training manuals," Radkesaid.Distributed without profit to those who have expressed a priorinterest in receiving the included information for research andeducational purposes.
