I thought we settled this years ago that there's no issues with Diebold and friends after the Bush elections and all? Maybe FOX News can report next that Ebola can be transmitted by sweat on a touchscreen. Then we'd have some news at least. :) |

Because it's either them or the Venezuela guy's company. Back in those ancient times, they used ultrasonics on the glass and you had to adjust a horizontal and vertical potentiometer in order to detect where the finger actually was on the glass. Temperature change of one degree moved that X-Y location. Touchscreens of that vintage were absolute crap but nobody here wanted to hear it.Wasn't until Apple came up with the microwave detuning method that positional accuracy improved on glass touchscreens. The older ones were plastic with embedded microwire contact points. No voting machine ever used the plastic screens. |

And just to reinforce: New York was one of the last states to end the use of the old clunkers in favor of electronic voting under federal law after extensive testing of everything out there. We had the opportunity to possibly accept newer designs on that basis. In the end, not a single touchscreen passed muster and so the state decided to go with paper ballots and scanners. |

It was obviously an error. If it were done deliberately, it wouldn't have been so easy to discover, on the very first day, no less. |
