Since we're playing dueling urls, perhaps this one should be included:
<http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/voting/dieboldftp.html>
It's a comprehensive look at the controversy as well as the problems with
Diebold voting machines, including the fact that they use Windows CE as
their OS and Access as their database (that's minus 100 points right
there), but also pointing out that many of the problems are related to
chain of custody and physical access issues which have existed for as long
as there have been elections and have nothing to do with what method is
used for voting.
If an election worker throws a bag of votes in his trunk and goes home for
the night (as happened in Florida in 2000), then you've lost chain of
custody, and all the "perfect software" in the world isn't going to help.
There's a great deal more than just the machines being used that needs to
be fixed.
