I've never made it a secret:  I'm not a fan of electronic voting machines.  To the best of my knowledge, none of the evoting machines to date have even come close to having the safeguards in place to make sure that voting results aren't manipulated.  And, once again, Diebold has proved that they are the worst of the lot and don't care what anyone thinks.

I believe evoting machines can become secure and reliable, but like anything in security, there is no easy fix to the problem.  Rather than dismiss the reports that detail the vulnerabilities, companies like Diebold need to take the information and improve the voting process.  Digitally signed drivers, paper trails, audited and verified software updates are just a few of the problems they face, none of which are insurmountable with more time and effort.  But rather than fix theproblems, Diebold would rather spend it's time and money attacking the researchers who discover the problems.  Again and again.
