Are these officials being paid off under-the-table with campaign funds to commit voter fraud?

Can we as the voting public protest Diebold machine use and force them to be replaced? What power do the people have to accomplish this in any given state? Any?

you the people need to force them to stop using them and count votes in public

regardless of votefraud or not it is your governments duty to prove to you who won if they expect you to accept the results

For now is there any law against propping up surveillance around all the voting machines? Not necessarily pointed at the screen but pointed just so anyone can see the machines aren't being tampered with.

Also, they could attach those cords that set off alarms if you try and lift it, like when you try to lift a digital camera too high at Best Buy and it sets off a red alert. Just throwin' some ideas out there. :p

There's a video on YouTube created by Princeton University showing a Diebold machine can lifted up and opened up from the bottom to access a memory card which can then be replaced with a memory card containing malicious software that steals votes from one candidate and gives it to another.

Here it is:
