Daily Review Online reports:
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.
Good. I hope the rest of the country (yeah, I’m looking at you, Ohio) gets emboldened by this decision.

Nah. Since corporations own the media, and contribute almost exclusively to republican politicians and lobbying groups, what’s scandalous and criminal is now ignored. We really are living in a Wonderland nightmare in this country. Diebold is not a pretty pregnant missing white woman, so it’s not news. Not in ’04 and not now according to those folks. If you don’t believe me, just check how fast the Karl Rove/Plame story got squelched as “old news.”
