Diebold Fails Again in San Diego

ptudor writes "An article in today's San Diego Union Tribune reveals nearly 3000 absentee ballots in the San Diego primary one month ago were miscounted. 'The miscounts occurred because multiple scanners simultaneously fed the absentee ballot data into the computer tabulation system. The large number of ballots and candidates on them overwhelmed the system. Diebold spokesman David Bear said the company has provided a software fix to the county for the new problem.' The irregularities were found in a routine post-election review." You can also read more about the problems on election day.

    Diebold, Diebold, Diebold... you didnt try, and you failed miserably - so now its time to straighten up and fly right. All you can do now, is scrap the machines and start over from scratch. And this time, put your whole ass into it.

  5. Limbaugh Dies at Age 53, Suicide by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio -- Radio Talk Show host Rush Limbaugh was found dead in his New York home last night. The coroner has not yet officially ruled it a suicide, but apparently that's what it's going to be ruled.

    I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will mourn his passing -- even if you didn't agree with him, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    Sigh... here we go again....

    Right back at you, ignorant troll.
    Canada doesn't have a cowardly, lying traitor in office at the moment. Further, the PM of Canada hasn't been proven to have lied to the population of his country in the interests of starting a war which his administration has been screaming for since they got into office illegally. Further, he didn't allow a terrorist attack on our country to happen while reading a book to a bunch of kids.

    Got it?

    Yep. I clearly have your number you scumbag traitor.
