Since when do DREs have mini-disks? IS this MORE uncertified crap, or just an article-writer who doesn't know a mini-disk from a herniated disk? Check out the part about Miami-Dade wanting to do similar testing to 'restore voter confidence'.
When WILL they learn??????

Voting machines get careful exam
County double-checks software codes

EVERETT - In an unprecedented security check, Snohomish County election officials took apart several touch-screen machines Monday to verify each is using the correct vote-counting software before today's primary election.
Observers from the Democratic and Republican parties watched Michelle Smith open up nine machines and
remove a mini-disc from each for examination. Coding on each disc was checked against an inventory list provided by Washington's Secretary of State.
No problems were found.
"This is to ensure that no rogue software is launched," Snohomish County Auditor Bob Terwilliger said.
