California Refuses to Recertify Diebold Voting Machines
Michael Hardy writes in FCW.com:
California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson wants Diebold Election Systems to submit the source code for its machines’ memory cards for federal testing, according to a letter sent yesterday to David Byrd, the company’s vice president of operations.
Until the code is tested and certified, California will suspend Diebold's application to have its voting systems recertified for use in the state, wrote Caren Daniels-Meade, chief of the Elections Division in the secretary's office. Both optical-scan and touch-screen systems use the memory cards, which have "unresolved, significant security concerns," Daniels-Meade wrote. Furthermore, Diebold never submitted the code to an independent testing authority, which is required for federal certification.
