Diebold = vote fraud

Is anyone else following this? Diebold is the
company that makes the voting machines that will be used in
upcoming American elections. There looks to be a coup
happening, Florida 2000 all over again but on a national
scale.

Quite scary - lots of easily exploited insecurities in the
machines, allegations of past abuses, and the owner of the
company pledged to deliver the votes of his state to the
president(!)

There's lots of interesting links in Slashdot posters' posts
in that story.

You voted Republican. Yes, yes you did, now shut up or we'll
"re-educate" you.

blackboxvoting.com has lots of scary internal Diebold memos that
show they really don't give a fuck about fixing the security
problems.

I mean, for fuck's sake, they're using Microsoft Access to
count the votes. Excuse me, that should be spelled
Abscess.

Walden O'Dell, the CEO of Diebold, is a major fundraiser for
President Bush. In a letter to fellow Republicans, O'Dell
said that he was "COMMITTED TO HELPING OHIO DELIVER ITS
ELECTORAL VOTES TO THE PRESIDENT NEXT YEAR."

Diebold makes ATM machines as well, they seem pretty secure.

I highly doubt this system is going to be implemented for
the next presidential election. Huge logistical nightmare,
coupled with the large body of people against the
technology.

And some voters might not take to it either. The elderly
will have a hell of a time trying to figure out a
touchscreen.

(sorry for the multiple posts, I just keep thinking of
things)
