More than one way to rig a vote.

The New York Times reports...
A laboratory that has tested most of the nation’s electronic voting systems has been temporarily barred from approving new machines after federal officials found that it was not following its quality-control procedures and could not document that it was conducting all the required tests.

But the money quote comes three graphs down.
The commission acted last summer, but the problem was not disclosed then. Officials at the commission and Ciber confirmed the action in recent interviews.

So what is it, just too hard to run fair elections now? Just too much work? Too expensive? Too embarassing?

And what else did folks not know before they went to the polls in November?
