Reply #29: Sonoma county - I think there were Diebolds?

[Duer 157099]

Just prior to the election, I found a website that had an interactive function where you put in your address and zipcode and it pulled up the address of your polling place and listed which type of ballots/machines were used.

I looked up my local polling place (in Sonoma county) and was sure it said Diebold touchscreen, because I recall thinking "I'm SO glad I got an absentee ballot this year!"

So, I cannot verify that they actually used the Diebold machines within Sonoma county, contrary to what your original post says, but if anyone knows the website I'm referring to where polling places were searchable, please let me know and I'll recheck (nope, didn't think to bookmark it! doh!)

Edit -- OK, just found some sites with that info, and I guess when I saw the name Diebold, I assumed e-voting, but now I see they actually were Diebold Optical Scanners that were used. Carry on...
