'Diebold Election Systems marketing director Mark Radke begged to
differ with the curmudgeons and nay-sayers. His company's equipment is
flawless, he implied - so flawless that it makes no sense to test
whether or not it really is, because it has to be.
Asked to explain the basis for Diebold's claim that its kit is "eight
times more accurate than paper balloting", Radke replied: "That would
be based on such things as undervoting statistics and so on, against
statistical fact, based on the information that we had for those
elections."
"So when you use the word 'accuracy', you haven't really taken into
account the possibility of tampering?" he was asked.
"Actually, no," he allowed. "We feel that our system is very secure, so
that is not taken into consideration."'
