Voting Machine Company [Diebold] Evasive About Secret 'Updates' |
Voting Machine Software Questioned
By STAFF REPORTS
The state's Voting Systems and Procedures panel asked for more
information Thursday about software changes made without state or
federal certification by the maker of voting machines used in Alameda
County and other jurisdictions.
"All of the questions, particularly better understanding how and why
these upgrades happened, still have not been fully answered," said
Doug Stone, spokesman for Secretary of State Kevin Shelley. "We hope
the information that we believe Diebold will provide to us will
provide a more comprehensive and detailed answer."
State officials in December revealed Diebold Election Systems had
supplied uncertified software to all 17 California counties in which
it has machines.
Critics have noted Diebold CEO Walter O'Dell's ties to Republican
fund-raising and are concerned the company's system is prone to
illegal manipulation.
The panel on Thursday gave Diebold 30 days to provide documentation,
including technical specifications on software and hardware upgrades
the company made to its voting systems, the company's internal
software development security procedures, and copies of all contracts
signed with California counties since 2001.
