After possibly the most extensive testing ever on a voting system,
California has rejected Diebold's flagship electronic voting machine because
of printer jams and screen freezes, sending local elections officials
scrambling for other means of voting.

"There was a failure rate of about 10 percent, and that's not good enough
for the voters of California and not good enough for me," said Secretary of
State Bruce McPherson.

If the machines had been used in an actual election, the result could have
been frustrated poll workers and long lines for thousands of voters, said
elections officials and voter advocates on Thursday.
