Court hears challenge to new voting machines
Plaintiffs say devices subject to tampering, should be decertified

"The Colorado Secretary of State's Office was in chaos when it certified four types of computerized voting machines, according to testimony Wednesday in a lawsuit seeking to ban the machines from being used in the November election.

A bipartisan group of voters is suing the office, saying the certification procedure was shoddy and the machines are vulnerable to tampering. Voters across Colorado used the equipment in the August primary, marking their choices on a computer screen."

"John Gardner, who took charge of the testing after Vest quit, testified that he considered two of his assistants incompetent. Gardner himself acknowledged he had no education in computer science, but said he made up for that with his experience.

Diebold, one of the four manufacturers of the machines, was found to be misrepresenting its equipment, plaintiffs' attorneys said. As a result, Diebold machines were decertified after the 2005 election - in which they had just been used. "

1. This whole thing with John Gardner is amazing....

After certifying the pieces of crap, he then admits he has no qualifications for doing so.
