"Massachusetts voting machines are programmed and serviced by New England Diebold affiliate LHS Associates, a private company that manages the software and memory cards holding all ballot and voting data. This data must be secured and held by Massachusetts election officials, experts say.
Election Integrity expert Brad Friedman warned that the outcome will rely on the accuracy of votes tallied by the easily-hacked electronic Diebold/Premier optical scan voting machines, which have been criticized as being easy to hack.
Friedman, in a report published in the Gouverneur Times said, "The electronic voting systems used in Massachusetts are notoriously plagued with problems and vulnerabilities, and are in violation of federal voting system standards. Moreover, they are sold, programmed, and maintained by a company with a disturbing criminal background."
Friedman added, "The machines and cards are often accessed by both election officials and the private vendors who program and maintain them."
