9. Diebold's new touch screen

voting machines have no paper trail of any votes. In other words,

there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the

same as what was legitimately put in by voters.

checkout scanners, and ticket machines, all of which log each transaction

and can generate a paper trail.

13. Jeff Dean was Senior

Vice-President of Global Election Systems when it was bought by

Diebold. Even though he had been convicted of 23 counts of felony

Diebold and was largely responsible for programming the optical scanning

software now used in most of the United

States.
