Diebold Machines Have Been Dropping Votes for 10 Years - Whoops!
According to Chris Riggall, a spokesman for Premier Election Solutions (formerly known as Diebold). the company’s voting machines which are used in over 34 states have not been counting votes for…
…wait for it…
10 years.
Riggall said he was “confident” that elections officials through the years would have realized votes had been dropped when they crosschecked their tallies to certify final elections results and would have reloaded cards so as not to lose votes. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has said no Ohio votes were lost because the nine Ohio counties that found the problem caught it before primary results were finalized.

“We are indeed distressed that our previous analysis of this issue was in error,” Premier President Dave Byrd wrote Tuesday in a letter that was hand-delivered to Brunner. Premier and Brunner are in an ongoing court battle over the voting machines and whether Premier violated its contract with the state and warranties.
Well - I’m glad that they’re at least “distressed” that they did not disclosure this known technical error when they discovered it. Of course, it doesn’t really matter now that the primaries have come and gone. This is almost as good as when the Chicago elections officials tricked voters into thinking they were voting with “invisible ink”.
This, of course, on the tail of a string of Premier Election Solutions/Diebold catastrophes; including the unveiling of the ease of vote flipping on national news, the company using already-hacked keys on current machines, Diebold officials caught trafficking in narcotics, or officals revealing that they regularly swapped out fake memory cards on the machines while the elections were still ongoing.
Hopefully people will realize the disgusting flaws in the current election system and question whether or not their vote really counts.
