California AG Says He'll Sue Diebold
moby11 points to this Reuters story carried by Yahooo!; it begins "California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said on Tuesday he would sue electronic voting machine maker Diebold Inc. on charges it defrauded the state with false claims about its products."
Or the jury will have to count their votes ten times.
Yeah, hopefully before it gets there, the California administration will step in and sue this company into oblivion. With the company being "terminated", we have less of chance of a Bush/Gore fiasco raising its ugly head and saying "I'll be back".
(Couldn't think of any retarded references to Junior, Predator, etc.)
WTF... I'm still waiting to say hello to minor parties.
*yawn*
And the dozen jurymen vote: 2 for the plaintiff, 13 for the defendant, 1 for Buchanan.
Corps can not commit treason, only people who do not donate lots of money to the whores on both sides of the isle in DC can be traitors.
1) Accept, without proper testing, Electronic Voting Machines. Pay ridiculous amount.
2) Find out machines suck
3) SUE for Much More than the original cost
4) PROFIT!!
the California state government didn't get the memo: How do you tell when a vendor is lying? Their lips move.
Diebold CEO, Bob Urosevich, announced, "Like our motto says, 'We won't rest!' We will fight this lawsuit until we win! For us, it is do or die bold!"

why does the porridge bird lay his eggs in the air?
Do you really want to think how many people would be killed if we a madman in the Whitehouse?
I know some might answer that question "Over a thousand and still counting...." ;) *innocent whistle*
Got mead?
We, the jury, find the defendant to be Pat Buchannan.
Election officials report California Attorney General Bill Lockyer was defeated by over 218 million votes in the latest recall election.
>Glad at least some of the state governments are getting their heads out of their ass.
Having some software knowledge among decision makers helps. For example, my state legislator used to work at Microsoft. He was the program manager for Access. His reaction to the idea of using Access to count votes is, umm, direct and to the point.
Damn trial lawyers. Protecting our right to vote! Well, they'll all be rounded up when Bullsh 'wins' again and installs Oberflecksaspittenfuhrer Zellfire Miller as the new Minister for Protection of Das State.
Mod parent up to 6, please. Hopefully that will swell the parent comment to superhuman proportions, so that it escapes /. entirely and goes flying around the 'net so fast it turns time back four full years.
