Mitch Trachtenberg writes "Ballot Browser, an open source Python program developed by Mitch Trachtenberg (yours truly) as part of the all-volunteer Humboldt County Election Transparency Project, was instrumental in revealing that Diebold counting software had dropped 197 ballots from Humboldt County, California's official election results. Despite a top-to-bottom review by the California Secretary of State's office, it appears that Diebold had not informed that office of the four year old bug. The story has been covered on BradBlog and Wired, the Transparency Project has sites at http://www.humetp.com/ and http://www.humtp.com/ I've written my own essay at http://www.mitchtrachtenberg.com/ourvotes.html, my new business (!) is at http://www.tevsystems.com/ and my blog for the Transparency Project is at http://democracycounts.blogspot.com./"
