Even a self-described Christian arch-conservative, former Diebold systems manager Rob Behler, says the company failed to adequately test its troubled equipment — and balked when he warned them of widespread problems with the machines. Last summer, computer scientists at Johns Hopkins University and Rice University found major security flaws in the Diebold machines, concluding that the Georgia system falls “far below even the most minimal security standards.” And in January, experts at RABA Technologies, a consulting firm in Maryland, discovered additional failures in that state’s Diebold systems. Internal Diebold e-mail shows that company engineers knew about the problems and in some instances chose to ignore them.
