According to a report released by the Election Science Institute on Tuesday, Ohio-based Diebold's touch-screen voting machines are still flawed. In a study of Cuyahoga County's gubernatorial primary results, the electronic and paper records of vote totals in Cuyahoga County did not match more than 75 percent of the time. The ESI also found that 10 percent of paper records were "destroyed, blank, illegible, missing, taped together or otherwise compromised."

Diebold is having none of it. "The initial review and conclusions reached by ESI . . . simply are wrong," the company said in a press release yesterday. They blame poll-workers, and GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell agrees. Glad that's settled.
