A while ago the Forsyth County (NC) Elections Board caught some heat when it didn’t support the recommendation of the long-time director of elections to go with a touch screen voting machine.  The dispute caused the director to leave her position to take a job with the state’s election office.

David Allen made a convincing argument at blackboxvoting.com for why the board was right and now comes more evidence that the board made a good call.  There’s a new report out about some of the security flaws in Diebold’s touch-screen system which supports some allegations made against Diebold.  Note that some of this dates all the way back to 2003.

Yup, I’d say the board made the right call.
