Locking the Barn Door After the Horse Is Gone

Ohio suing Diebold for missing votes
The State of Ohio is suing Premier Election Systems (formerly known as Diebold) for missing votes. Diebold claimed the issue was caused by a conflict with an antivirus package and was a known issue; Ohio states the machines never should have shipped with such a known conflict still in place.
Another nail in the coffin of no-paper-trail e-voting.
