Attorney General Charlie Crist said his office had issued subpoenas to seek sales documents from Diebold Election Systems Inc. of Diebold Inc. (DBD.N: Quote, Profile, Research), Election Systems & Software Inc., or ES&S, and Smartmatic's Sequoia Voting Systems Inc. The investigation will look at how the companies marketed voting machines to Florida counties and why all three companies declined to sell voting equipment for disabled voters to Leon County, possibly flouting anti-trust laws and the civil rights of voters there, Crist's office said. "It is critical for our democratic process to work efficiently and effectively, but of most importance, fairly," Crist said in a statement. "These subpoenas are to ensure that the rights of our voters with disabilities as well as all Florida voters are secured." Leon County elections supervisor Ion Sancho has conducted tests to show that electronic voting systems can be manipulated and has become a hero to skeptics who fear the vote computers can be hacked to produce fraudulent results. "The subpoenas are seeking information about whether the companies agreed among themselves not to do business with the county," Crist's office said. No one was immediately available to comment at Diebold, ES&S or Smartmatic. Despite being at the center of the 2000 election fiasco when repeated recounts in the state held up the U.S. presidential election result for a month, Florida has not mandated that the newly installed machines be backed up by a paper trail to ensure confidence in the systems. The 2004 general election proceeded smoothly. © Reuters 2006. All Rights Reserved.
