quietly released today. It would seem that either Diebold is having a
complete mental breakdown, or they are reading a completely different
report. 'We are pleased to be moving forward,' said Thomas W. Swidarski,
president of Diebold Election Systems. 'The thorough system assessment
conducted by SAIC verifies that the Diebold voting station provides an
unprecedented level of election security.' Huh? That's not what the report I
read says. This Risk Assessment has identified several high-risk
vulnerabilities in the implementation of the managerial, operational, and
technical controls for AccuVote-TS voting system. If these vulnerabilities
are exploited, significant impact could occur on the accuracy, integrity,
and availability of election results."
