This doesn't sound so crazy...]]>Aug 14th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/Aug 14th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
If you buy a DVD player and it doesn't play half the DVDs made, you'd expect a) a refund, or b) a replacement that could play all DVDs... This is no different... this was a settlement so Ohio decided they still want the equipment, they just want it to work... ]]>Aug 14th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
I like how you compare voting machines with consumer electronic ;-)

Again I'm assuming there isn't some malicious motive... if Ohio wants electronic voting systems (remember paper ballots are not perfect and are just as open to fraud) then this is result I'd expect.]]>Aug 14th 2010 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
It's way easier to commit a fraud on something that has no physical record of the votes than with paper. The things should punch and spit out paper as well. And to be so quick to say it was nothing malicious is naive. ]]>Aug 14th 2010 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
No voting system before has been perfect, so to blow a gasket because a new tech that was supposed to improve it failed to actually improve it is being a little unfair. No one died because the mistakes... and airplanes have mechanical and software failures, thankfully we have skilled pilots and flight staff to get everyone safely to the ground. Paper isn't very secure, I say this in a state that only uses mail in ballots and there is still a large amount of voter fraud, both caught and suspected.

If you want to argue that they should scrap the whole system that's one thing... but Ohio has decided to continue to try electronic systems and this is exactly the deal I'd expect them to make to salvage the money spent, punish the failure of the provider, and continue on to their desired goal.]]>Aug 14th 2010 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
Yeah, must be a software bug.]]>Aug 14th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0828-08.htm]]>Aug 14th 2010 10:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
It make a lot more sense that code monkey working against a deadline screwed up something in a reporting mechanism than some dastardly effort to steal elections.]]>Aug 14th 2010 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
And no shit it brings attention to the illegal action, but after it's all said and done. They are getting a flick on the wrist over a year and a half after Bush has already served the entire term from the 2004 election.]]>Aug 14th 2010 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/Aug 15th 2010 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/14/premier-elections-solutions-pays-up-in-ohio-diebold-suit-offers/
This is a huge fail on Diebold's part and I'd like to see them die. I'll never use electronic voting machines because of this single event.
