Manipulation technique found in the Diebold central tabulator --
1,000 of these systems are in place, and they count up to two million
votes at a time.
By entering a 2-digit code in a hidden location, a second set of votes
is created. This set of votes can be changed, so that it no longer
matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals from
the bogus vote set. It takes only seconds to change the votes, and to
date not a single location in the U.S. has implemented security measures
to fully mitigate the risks.
Public officials: If you are in a county that uses GEMS 1.18.18, GEMS
1.18.19, or GEMS 1.18.23, your secretary or state may not have told you
about this. You're the one who'll be blamed if your election is
tampered with. Find out for yourself if you have this problem: Black Box
Voting will be happy to walk you through a diagnostic procedure over the
phone.

This program is not "stupidity" or sloppiness. It was designed and
tested over a series of a dozen version adjustments.
