"For the record, Diebold has only been in the election machine business since 2001. They only make direct-recording electronic (DRE) machines, and have never produced paper ballot readers or any other equipment"

Forgive me if I have missed something here but the machine that was the subject of the final dramatic "fixing" scene in the HBO special was a Diebold paper vote scanner. I know this because it is the same machine used at my polling place for the last few years (Since California decertified the first Diebold touchscreen machine.)

And just one observation of the sensational climax: The fixing of the media on a scanning counting machine is easily trumped by recounts of random precincts on different machines done with the original paper ballots.
