Brad has asked me to crosspost this report to dailykos. This was on brad blog last night but I couldn't make a diary because of the rules on one diary per 24 hour period on DKOS. This is a vitally important document.
BRAD BLOG EXCLUSIVE DOCUMENTS: 'THE PENTAGON PAPERS OF E-VOTING' -- THE LONG-SOUGHT 2003 STATE OF MARYLAND'S 'SAIC REPORT' ON DIEBOLD SECURITY VULNERABILITIES -- NOW RELEASED IN FULL!
Previously Unreleased 200-Page Report Said to Document Some 180 Security Flaws and Recommendations Made to Diebold and the State
Still Unclear as to Who Made Changes, Additions, Redactions to Publicly Released 40-Page Version of Report...
On Friday night, we broke Rebecca Abrahams's exclusive story concerning the long-sought yet never-released complete "Risk Assessment Report" of Diebold's electronic voting systems as commissioned by the state of Maryland from the Scientific Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in 2003.
Tonight, The BRAD BLOG is releasing that report exclusively in full as given to us by Abrahams, who says she obtained it from a source described to us as "a patriotic high-level state official." She says the source is "someone very close to this situation" in the Maryland government.
The original, never-before-released SAIC report was nearly 200 pages in all, and details a number of extraordinary security vulnerabilities found in Diebold's AccuVote-TS (touch-screen) voting systems as deployed by the state of Maryland initially in 2002. The version of the SAIC report that was eventually released to the public, after extreme redaction, was a mere 38 pages long.
You can read about the entire report here It's pinned at the top.
Additionally, if you want to listen to a clip of Mike Malloy, he interviewed with Brad about this Friday night. You can also listen to Mike's entire show for this at the White Rose Society website.
We need people to download this document and read it and catch everything we can so we can start documenting what happens tomorrow and we can know what to look for.
God help us tomorrow!
