Well actually all of the machines used in Texas are possibly faulty. But at least we're finally starting to see some coverage of the Diebold/Premiere history eraser button issue.
Pegasus News 3/24/09Possibly faulty voting machines still used by Collin CountyBy Bill Baumbach of The Collin County Observer
It was back in 2003 that Collin County made the decision to purchase all electronic, touch screen voting machines from Diebold. They have been used in every election since then.
Many, including this author, have expressed concerns that the use of digital voting machines did not provide the essential safeguards needed to absolutely assure that an election result was correct and honest. Without an auditable paper trail, all election audits come down to trusting that the equipment is totaling the votes correctly.
Elections are run, not on trust, but on verification.
