Diebold Technician operates system on election day...
Edited on Fri Nov-26-04 12:59 PM by springhill
GASTONIA - Gaston Elections Director Sandra Page said for the first time Monday that her office is investigating why more than 13,000 votes were excluded from the county's unofficial election results.

snip

The county pays a technician from Diebold to operate its systems on Election Day. That person was in charge of transferring early votes from electronic storage to the counting computer. Diebold believes the transmission was interrupted, said spokesman David Bear.

1. "the transmission was interrupted"
That is absolutely no excuse whatsoever. Computer Science solved the problem of unreliable data transfers, oh, about 30-40 years ago. There's no reasonable way the 'transmission was interrupted' and didn't somehow alert the humans to that fact.

I call bullshit.

BULLSHIT!
