More E-Voting SNAFUs
tassii writes "Looks like Diebold is in yet more trouble. In this article from Wired.com, an audit of the Diebold E-Voting machines revealed that the company installed uncertified software in all 17 counties that use its electronic voting equipment. While 14 counties used software that had been qualified by federal authorities but not certified by state authorities, three counties, including Los Angeles, used software that had never been certified by the state or qualified by federal authorities for use in any election. And in this article, Wired.com is reporting that at least five convicted felons secured management positions at a Diebold, including one who served time in a Washington state correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files in a scheme that 'involved a high degree of sophistication and planning.'"
Four more years of Bush...
Will somebody do something about these bastards?
Finding work in the private sector?!
I must admit that during the last US presidential election, we here in Oz had quite a giggle at the reason that you guys got a retard elected was because of your wacky voting mechanisms. We got a retard because we voted badly. We can only blame ourselves, not the punch cards. Diebold sounds pretty diabolical methinks.
Respected British journalist, author and lawyer Fenton Bresler died this week aged 74. Among many many other articles and books, he wrote "Who Killed John Lennon", and was probably the first person to suspect publicly that Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman, was a brainwashed CIA stooge. And who would have authorised Lennon's murder? None other than George Bush Sr., head honcho of the Fascist criminal elite. Surprise surprise.
Now here come the "tinfoil hat" comments... shove 'em up your asses, wiseguys. Try a little reading and a little reasoning before you speak on behalf of the Fascisti.
