Say it with stick figures
Okay, hadn’t heard this excuse before.
Randall Munroe made an unexpected but apt analogy regarding the rebranded Diebold’s approach to voting machine integrity in his webcomic XKCD. (Cartoon reprinted with permission.)
Will somebody please explain to Diebold (now known as Premier) that it’s not exactly reassuring when a company tells you that the reason their products don’t work is that they’re not compatible with name-brand Windows anti-virus software? I would have thought that, if you were foolish enough to use anything Windows-based for mission-critical computing, you’d want to ensure that you were compatible with the other standards in that arena.
Lynn Hulsey writes for the Middletown Journal that four Ohio county boards of elections — Montgomery, Greene, Miami and Butler counties — are parties to a breach-of-contract lawsuit counterclaim filed by Ohio’s Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner on Wednesday, Aug. 6, against Premier neé Diebold.
Secretary of State Brunner said 11 Ohio counties experienced voting machine equipment malfunctions, including failure to properly tabulate votes, in the March ‘08 primary elections. For legal reasons Montgomery, Greene, Miami and Butler counties are defendants along with Diebold (Premier) in the counterclaim filed by Brunner; however, damages are only sought against the touch-screen electronic voting machine manufacturer.
Ohio’s counterclaim is the state’s response to Diebold’s (Premier’s) June lawsuit against Cuyahoga County, which had scrapped the company’s machines because of problems.
