SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Worried about security and possible fraud, California's top election official on Friday barred some electronic voting machines purchased for use in the 2004 presidential election and called for a criminal investigation of its manufacturer.

California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley said that he would decertify the model most widespread in the state, Ohio-based Diebold Incorporated's AcuVote-TSx Voting System. That machine accounts for a third of all of the state's electronic voting machines.

He also said he would ask the state's attorney general to look into Diebold over possible fraud in relation to their electronic voting machines in California. He did not mince words in describing the firm.

"They broke the law," Shelley said. "Their conduct was absolutely reprehensible. The evidence within the report is absolutely damning.... They lied."

* Diebold is a major Cheney-Bush contributor and leaked emails show technicians there may be working on deliberately fixing elections.
