Voting machine producers criticize critiques

Voting machine makers scoffing at bad reviews? That’s preposterous! Actually, it’s not all that alarming to hear that Diebold, Hart InterCivic, and Sequoia Voting Systems all had less-than-amicable responses to a state study that “found that their machines could be breached by hackers.” Of course, we’re not exactly sure what all that groaning is about, as we’ve seen nothing but proof to back the investigation up. Nevertheless, Sequoia dubbed the review “an unrealistic, worst-case-scenario evaluation,” Diebold kvetched that the study didn’t look at its most recently developed software, Hart found “several inconsistencies, alternate conclusions, and errors,” and Elections Systems & Software bypassed the rigmarole entirely by failing to provide their information to the secretary of state. Oh, the irony. [Warning: Read link requires subscription]
