What I'm afraid of is that they have had enough time to flop back to un-bugged code in the machines down in Fl 13 (or it flops back automatically)

I mean, will it be a random machine(s) code check or something that ES&S just hands over to them directly (cleaned-up)?

IMO the only way to find anything out is to borrow one of the machines on the eve of an election and see what has been installed as far as malware

In other words, this will do nothing to solve the problem in my eyes

The only thing that MIGHT solve our problem is the prohibitive maintainence costs foisted on the states by the manufacturers

WhatCheck one machine? What's to stop them from hacking every 3rd or 5th machine? If you're going to stop all of these shenanigans with voting machines, you're going to have to give the voter a ballot receipt (that enumerates the vote) that can be taken back to get a vote corrected and checked in a fully-published vote, otherwise, with paper ballots or not, we're all going to be hostage to the honesty and goodwill of the people managing our elections and anybody who can sneak by them. You need to have openness and honesty at the outset, as nothing guarantees it after the fact.

The fool proof ability for vote recount via paper-trails and/or printout rolls may not be so fool proof after all. The printout/paper-trails are malfunctioning and jamming at an alarming rate rendering a recount or audit of voter intent impossible.

I'm with Dean on this. They need to revote this race. Jennings is going to take this to higher courts if her request is denied.

If this results in verifiable voting Jennings, Dean and the PFAW will get credit.

Rahm Emanuel will get what he deserves. ZIP!
