<\/a>Perhaps if Diebold spent more on engineering, and less on “bribing” Elections Officials<\/a> and buying off Lobbying Groups for the Blind<\/a>, they’d be in better shape.<\/p>\n

Updating our previous report<\/a> on the rejection of Diebold in the state of California by Republican Secretary of State Bruce McPhereson after some 10% of Diebold’s touch-screen voting machines reportedly froze or jammed in a mock election recently, it now seems that the failure rate was actually twice<\/i> as high.<\/p>\n

As reported by the Tri-Valley Herald<\/i><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Diebolds problems worsen
\nMass test shows nearly 20 percent of touch-screen machines crashed<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Diebolds latest electronic voting machine, desired by dozens of counties nationwide, fared worse in the nations first mass testing than previously disclosed, with almost 20 percent of the touch-screen machines crashing.
\n…
\n[W]hen Diebold representatives trucked in 96 brand-new TSx machines, and local elections officials voted on them July 20 in a San Joaquin County warehouse, nearly twice as many machines froze or crashed as had paper jams.
\n…
\nIn all, 19 machines had 21 screen freezes or system crashes, producing a blue screen and messages about an illegal operation or a fatal exception error. A Diebold technician had to restart the machine for voting to resume. Ten machines had a total of 11 printer jams. Almost a third of all machines in the mock election had one problem or another.<\/div>\n
