Diebold Election Systems, which manufactured the voting machines in Ohio, was apparently "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." (From commondreams.org, but I've seen this quote in a number of sources)

This was mentioned in a few articles last year, and yesterday Diebold Election Systems delivered on their promise-- Ohio went to Bush.

An Electionline observer wrote that there were some problems with machines in precincts in Ohio, which uses systems manufactured by Diebold Election Systems, but said the issues were resolved in a timely manner. The worst problem occurred in New Orleans, where not enough voting machines were able to boot up, the Associated Press reported. That meant that election workers had to tell voters to come back later, the report said...

"It is quite clear to me that the new technologies that were put in place seemed to do their jobs better than what we had before," Selker said. He said, however, that he had seen election workers on Tuesday erase a count of voters to make it match with a computerized tally. That reinforced in his mind that elections in the United States have a way to go, he said.
