Another election official goes to work for Diebold after leaving office. A former Diebold lobbyist becomes the election official. This revolving door is common.
Also, an unusually good article in TN press on vote-switching - a commonly reported occurance with DRE voting machines which can be easily programmed to switch votes in a way that most voters will not notice. When a voter does notice and cancel the ballot to vote again, the second time the voter tries to vote, the machine does the right thing. The voter thinks it could have been his/her own fault. Everyone is fooled, thinks it is innocent error, and manual audits are subverted by electronic malfeasance. For more information on how DREs can be programmed to fool manual audits of voter verifiable paper trails see: http://brennancenter.org/dynamic/subpages/download_file_39288.pdf
It is a "no brainer" not to use expensive DRE voting systems, so what motivates US election officials to actively promote them over the objection of virtually all independent computer scientists and the National Institute of Standards and Technology?
