Anyone have the straight dope on how many votes were cast yesterday using Diebold machines and in which states? I would be very interested to know. Thank you.
Related questions:
Are there competing machines out there?
If so, who makes them?
Perhaps it’s just as interesting that noone seems to know…
The only name of a competing company that springs to mind is Sequoia, but I believe there are some others.
An article I was reading this morning regarding the Ohio vote noted that the majority of votes cast in Ohio were on punchcards, but that the central vote counting machines were from Diebold.
This story indicates some of the machines which overcounted in Ohio were made by Danaher Controls.
