Haha! I knew I had heard the name Diebold elsewhere.

Mr. SUBMAN, guess who's responsable for the electoral theft mentioned above? Guess whose machines were used? Whose software?

While the whole hacking thing proves how ridiculously fragile these things are, the gravest danger is not with what a voter can do to the machine while voting but what the election officials can do in the backstage.

In that case they've created "ghost machines", cloned, it's all in the PDF above though you can't understand a word of it.

The point is, this wouldn't have happened with paper ballots.

Don't know if this link works. Anyway, the Brazilian company Procomp, founded in 1998, was bought by Diebold in 1999. Since then, Procomp got to supply the machines in every election since then except for 2002 when Unisys got the contract.

The Brazilian machines do not have a printer to recount each individual printed vote, the history of the political manouvers done to prevent such a printer from being used are in a link on SUBMAN's other electronic voting thread. Now, the Venezuelan system used to have a printer, however they're not using it on this year's election. Why not? Probably because it's the only way to recount votes and reduce fraud.
