Diebold Voting Machine Failures Found Across State During New Hampshire Primary

Election Officials Confrim that Employees from LHS Associates, Diebold's Sole Programmer, Vendor, and Service Provider in NH, Were Allowed to Access Vulnerable Optical-Scan Systems Throughout Election Day

Attorney General's Office Offers Conflicting Information...
Special to The BRAD BLOG by Dori Smith of Talk Nation Radio

Early research into New Hampshire wards and towns which used Diebold's AccuVote Optical-Scan voting machines during last week's Primary reveals that chronic problems continue with the company's infamous paper-ballot voting machines.

As well, the preliminary investigation reveals a great deal of confusion and conflicting information from local election clerks and a high-ranking official in the state Attorney General's office regarding protocols and security procedures for voting systems and memory cards, and how they are to be handled during Election Day failures.

All four counties I contacted on January 10th that had used Diebold's electronic machines last week reported problems during the election with the machines. Two other calls that same day turned out to have been to areas where electronic voting is not in use, where hand counts are done instead. If the small sampling is any indication, a statewide study would likely reveal that voting machines failed many times during the 2008 Presidential Primary across the entire state............

Nor surprised, hopefully it was just bugs and not engineered failures to get the memory cards swapped.

..and even more important now is that each town/city carefully watched the ballots and that if they are brought to a central location for recount that enough people stick close and watch things to make sure nothing is swapped and enough people can keep an eye on things so they cannot modify the paper ballots sent to match the electronic results.

This could get interesting. Dennis goes for a recount. Machine problems being talked about now.

If i am right, Hillary or OB will not be allowed to have anyone at the recount, without paying for a recount, or at least they should not be allowed to attend or have any input without paying. If it would change where BO was higher she would be out of luck.

I saw the weird number taking place just like the rest did. I hope they have experts checking the machines.
