Diebold Machines Hacked- Election Results Reversed Without a Trace

The results of a Diebold Election were completely reversed without a trace or here. IMO, this story should be headline news, but imagine my shock when it, "didn't gain traction".

At the beginning of the test election the memory card programmed by Harri Hursti was inserted into an Optical Scan Diebold voting machine. A "zero report" was run indicating zero votes on the memory card. In fact, however, Hursti had pre-loaded the memory card with plus and minus votes.

The eight ballots were run through the optical scan machine. The standard Diebold-supplied "ender card" was run through as is normal procedure ending the election. A results tape was run from the voting machine.

Correct results should have been: Yes:2 ; No:6

However, just as Hursti had planned, the results tape read: Yes:7 ; No:1

The results were then uploaded from the optical scan voting machine into the GEMS central tabulator, a step cited by Diebold as a protection against memory card hacking. The central tabulator is the "mother ship" that pulls in all votes from voting machines. However, the GEMS central tabulator failed to notice that the voting machines had been hacked.

Why? Why don't the Democrats stand up and demand these machines be thrown in the garbage?

And now the primaries are starting for this Nov's election- with many states still using these hackable machines. Hmmmm - maybe the Incumbent Democrats don't mind hackable machines in their primaries...
