Diebold Folds In DMCA E-Voting Lawsuit

sunbird writes "Diebold has filed a responsive pleading (PDF) in the lawsuit brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation to challenge Diebold's practice of using the DMCA to suppress discussion of the critical flaws with electronic voting. Diebold states that it has "decided to withdraw its existing DMCA notifications and not to issue any further ones . . . ." Other recent developments include: this transcript of the court hearing on EFF's application for a preliminary injunction and Dennis Kucinich's linking to Diebold memos from his webpage at the U.S. House of Representatives. Stay tuned- the judge has scheduled a status conference for this Monday in the case."

Poor little ditto head, your hero is no better than the liberals he trashes daily.

Well, here is one example, Microsoft donated next to nothing politically until the Presidential 2000 elections, I'll give you a cookie if you can figure out who that money went to. Oh, looks like they also dumped large sums into the Republican takeovers of the house and senate in '02. I'll give you another cookie if you can remember what suddenly happend to the anti-trust lawsuit soon after our neo-conservative friends got into office.

Oh, they did donate to Democrats, when it was for people on their own home state turf.

Bush got $71,750 from Microsoft.
Gore got $27,750.

53% went to Republicans in 2000.
60% in '02.

Isn't it a shame how so little money can buy so much influence?

Again, Bull. Read the USCCR report before you look like an ass. The report did not find voter fraud, it found votor "disenfranchisement".

You call it voter disenfranchisement, I call it electoral fraud.

Harris and Bush willfully disobeyed a rack of court orders that required voters with the right to vote to be allowed to register. They also selected ChoicePoint to scrub the voter lists despite the fact they were the most expensive by 25 times the cost of the cheapest bid.

I am not stupid enough to expect the Bush Administration to allow a report to be printed that concluded that GW was elected by means of a fraud concocted by his brother. However the facts found by the report validate the claim that the ballot was rigged in a massively partisan manner.
