University of Maryland Quotes



Diebold was the manufacturer of Computerized Voting Machines which had more than 130,000 in service by 2006 serving millions of voters. The University of Maryland and others had done studies on the Diebold machines and demonstrated that there were a number of different ways that the vote count could be tampered with by someone wishing to control the vote results. Although not illegal for a voting machine manufacturer with knowledge of how to rig their voting machines, this quotation was used by the many people who opposed computerized voting machines generically and many who suspected a strong partisan vote rigging capability to support their positions.
