Commentary: Diebold VP Says Company?s Machines Recorded Tallies Accurately in Test    Story Here  Archive
Published:Tuesday, August 30, 2005
David Bird Opinion Berkeley Daily Planet 30 August 2005
A recent guest editorial in your paper inaccurately criticized Secretary of State Bruce McPherson about the latest developments in California?s move to electronic voting machines. The piece misused several figures reported by the Associated Press and Con tra Costa Times about a recent testing of Diebold Election Systems, Inc.?s (DESI) AccuVote-TSX with AccuView Printer Module election voting machines. The author also sarcastically accused a respected public official of poor math skills. One of the misstated facts claimed that during the dry-run test of the Diebold election system, McPherson?s office reported a 10 percent failure rate (the guest writer wondered if the failure rate was actually higher, which it was not). In fact, in that test, 10,720 votes were recorded on 96 voting machines with 100 percent accuracy. Despite 11 paper jams and 21 other problems on the new machine-printer combination, not a single ballot was lost.
