Documents show Maryland held election, primary on uncertified, illegal Diebold voting machines

The Maryland State Board of Elections allowed Diebold Election Systems to operate its touch-screen voting machines during the state's 2002 gubernatorial election and the 2004 presidential primaries before the state agency actually certified the controversial machines, according to recently disclosed documents.

That is a violation of state law, according to Linda Schade, executive director of TrueVoteMD.org, an election integrity group.

Schade discovered the document among thousands of others she recently acquired through a lawsuit filed against the Maryland State Board of Elections in 2004. After almost two years of public records requests and attorney wrangling, she received four boxes filled with e-mail conversations, faxes and contracts between the elections office and Diebold.


"So far, we've only gone through one box and have just started the second box," she said Wednesday. "We expect to find much more."

Is this new info or not?

I think folks are sort of down about the Election stuff with all else that's going on... That's why it's good to keep kicking it. We can't forget it. Slowly more and more is going to come out.

I just got home there was a major traffic jam due to a fire, I feel likes it's Christmas,
remember I saw my voting machine default to GWB 5 times in November, 2004. I really
would like to know if the voting machines were certified prior to the general election.

Wooo Hoooo!

With your K&R I confirm that this was worth the post!

All this trouble Diebold has in MD, CA, PA, FL, even CO, and probably a few others is VERY significant news.

Believe me, this is major progress in Maryland. It must be either an election
year or Christmas has come early. Oh yeah, it is, Gov. Ehrlich is running for re-election.
