MJ,

Re: I have no problem with private corporation designing the best voting machines-----let's go for it and develope a system that works well 99% of the time.

Well I have a vociferous objection to a clear and present danger to the integrity of our election system.

As you may or may not be aware, the Diebold Corporation, one of the major DRE manufacturers was recently de-certified in California because it bungled that state's primary elections earlier this year. "Now the state attorney-general Bill Lockyer is suing Diebold for false claims about its products after California’s secretary of state Kevin Shelley decertified the machines in April." [Source: newscientist.com ]

Diebold is in seven lines of work, such as medical recording devices, automatic teller machines and voting machines (DREs). It should be a huge red flag for any observer to learn that the only line of business for which Diebold does not provide a paper backup audit trail is..... the voting machines.

This quite simply is a "smoking gun" that should alarm anyone concerned about the integrity of our voting process.
