E-voting Dispute Hits North Carolina Courts
"E-voting has sparked criticism and controversy since it was first rolled out in the 2002 elections. Most of it has come from the technology community, pitting security experts against e-voting machine vendors like Diebold and Sequoia Systems.
North Carolina experienced one of the most serious malfunctions of e-voting systems in the 2004 presidential election when over 4,500 ballots were lost in a voting system provided by e-voting vendor UniLect Corp.
Last month, the EFF convinced a North Carolina judge to dismiss a lawsuit by Diebold, which is seeking to an exemption from the state's transparency laws. Diebold represented to the court that it would be "unable" to comply with the code escrow requirement of the statute."
