GOOD NEWS! In the second article below, Diebold even says, "We were caught!"

California Panel: Don't Use Diebold Touch-Screen Voting Machines
"California should ban the use of 15,000 touch-screen voting machines made by Diebold Election Systems from the Nov. 2 general election, an advisory panel to Secretary of State Kevin Shelley recommended Thursday. By an 8-0 vote, the state's Voting Systems and Procedures Panel recommended that Shelley cease the use of the machines, saying that Texas-based Diebold has performed poorly in California and its machines malfunctioned in the state's March 2 primary election, turning away many voters in San Diego County. The recommendation affects 15,000 Diebold touch-screen machines in San Diego, Solano, Kern and San Joaquin counties. Thousands more machines made by Diebold and other manufacturers in 10 other counties are unaffected, although the panel is to make a recommendation regarding them next Wednesday... Panel member Marc Carrel, an assistant secretary of state, said he was 'disgusted' by Diebold, which has 'been jerking us around.' "

Diebold: 'We Were Caught'
"It is an uncommon day when the nation's second-largest provider of voting systems concedes that its flagship products in California have significant security flaws and that it supplied hundreds of poorly designed electronic-voting devices that disenfranchised voters in the March presidential primary. Diebold Election Services Inc. president Bob Urosevich admitted this and more, and apologized 'for any embarrassment.' 'We were caught. We apologize for that,' Urosevich said of the mass failures of devices needed to call up digital ballots. Poll-workers in Alameda and San Diego counties hadn't been trained on ways around their failure... Unknown thousands of voters were turned away at the polls. 'We're sorry for the inconvenience of the voters,' Urosevich said. 'Weren't they actually disenfranchised?' asked Tony Miller, chief counsel to the state's elections division. After a moment, Urosevich agreed: 'Yes, sir.' "

San Francisco mayor slams Bush
SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Gavin Newsom accused President Bush of political showmanship and discrimination because of the Social Security Administration's decision to not accept any marriage licenses from San Francisco — gay or straight — until the same-sex issue is resolved.

Aristide Leaves Violence-Torn Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Faced with an armed rebellion and intense pressure from the United States and France, Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide on Sunday left his troubled Caribbean nation, its future uncertain as armed gangs vie for power on the streets.

Bush Cooks the Books: Accounting Method Yields Bigger Deficit
WASHINGTON - The federal government, if it used an accounting method preferred by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, would have turned in a deficit of $665 billion in 2003. That's bigger than the figure recognized as the budget deficit for last year, which clocked in at just more than $374 billion. The larger figure, included in a Treasury Department report Friday, is based on a method of accounting in which expenses are booked when they are incurred — not when payments are made. Greenspan has said this accrual accounting method provides a better picture of the government's obligations and assets.

Pressure aims to create peaceful transition, avoid armed takeover

Accusations 'have shaken relations with Westminster'
Clare Short's accusation that British intelligence officers bugged the office of Kofi Annan, secretary-general of the United Nations, has shaken relations between Westminster and the intelligence community, insiders disclosed yesterday, despite Tony Blair's efforts to limit the fallout. Ms Short's claim that she saw "transcripts" of bugged conversations between Mr Annan and others is thought by officials to have damaged the intelligence agencies' ability to function effectively because it has served as a stark warning that even the most senior officials cannot necessarily be relied on to maintain secrecy.
