Serious problems with Diebold in Washington State

For a journalist, Bev Harris sure as hell lacks tact... for example here is the executive summary (no permalinks means we can't link to the damn thing directly!) of yesterday's big announcement:

We’ve got the state election director misstating when versions were certified, somebody at the secretary of state’s office signing off on software with no NASED number, and when we try to find out what software is actually authorized, we get the buffalo shuffle. We’ve got a convicted drug dealer printing our ballots, a 23-count embezzler programming our voting system, and our absentee ballots are being funneled through a private company that hires mainly immigrants but also people straight out of prison.

We’ve now documented 10 states that are using unauthorized software, and internal memos that indicate that five Diebold programmers uploaded these unauthorized programs, knowing that this was not allowed.

I haven't had the chance to read the documents she has prepared... you might want to if you've got a minute: one, two, three.
