E-Voting Flaw Gives Election Victory to Wrong Candidate

Borked elections due to E-Voting flaws/errors have occurred before in Ohio at least Twice! Two brothers control nearly 100% of the E-Voting hardware used in the US. Bob Urosevich controls Diebold while his brother Todd controls ES&S [more]. In a 2003 fund-raising e-mail, the then-CEO of Diebold, Walden O'Dell, promised to deliver Ohio's electoral votes to a given candidate in 2004. If you have not read the report issued by the Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner "Evaluation & Validation of Election-Related Equipment, Standards & Testing" AKA EVEREST , you should... it enumerated over 300 known issues with the current generation of E-Voting hardware. Despite the report, the Ohio Election Commissioners voted to do nothing about it.

The next election may have already been decided.
