This is from Lynn Lande's website. If you are not familiar with this
material, you really should have a look. The problems with voting
machines go way back in time--this list starts at 1968.

*This list is no longer kept current.* In some cases more information
about earlier fraud is known now compared to when this list was compiled
(the 2000 Florida Volusia County irregularities comes to mind).
However this list is an excellent source of information about the
existence of widespread problems, as well as the consistent reaction of
election officials and public prosecutors: to /not investigate/ obvious
irregularities.
Perusing this list should demonstrates conclusively that attempts will
be made to tamper with any and all kinds of election systems,
irrespective of the technology involved. Electronic voting systems
typically offer many more attack points and less auditability, and offer
the opportunity to control results from an entire election. Those who
claim that attempts to tamper with an electronic voting machine are
unlikely to occur, can be shown how wrong they are by a quick read of
this list.
