Voting system experts say the practice appears to violate federal voting system standards, and independent computer experts have been using Diebolds own code to hack vote totals on its machines.
On Tuesday, California Secretary of State Bruce McPherson cited unresolved significant security concerns in ordering Diebold to submit the software on its memory cards and PC cards to a designated testing lab for review.
