Election reform advocates had hoped Diebold touch-screen voting machines would be permanently decertified in the country’s largest “voting market” (as Diebold likes to refer to it) after a massive test of their AccuVote DRE machines earlier this year revealed a 20% failure rate. But a more recent test, secretly held at Diebold Election System’s McKinney Texas headquarters, apparently in violation of California state law, has resulted in what appears to be a last minute about-face from California’s Republican Sec. of State, Bruce McPhereson. The latest news has now thrown everything into doubt in the state concerning the future of electronic voting here.<\/p>\n
