An Open Letter To Diebold

jcatcw writes "Computerworld's Rob Mitchell tells Diebold President and CEO Thomas Swidarski how to regain Diebold's reputation instead of throwing in the e-voting towel. He recommends full disclosure of all existing problems, a process for disclosure of future problems, hiring of some real professionals as CTO and as an advisory group, and public testing. 'Surely if Diebold can make a secure ATM there is no reason why it cannot make secure and reliable e-voting apparatus in which the public has confidence.'"

    2) the CEO being the same person who pledged to bring the elections over to the Republicans

    Yeah, and he did such a fantastic job of following through on that, too.

    Some you folks are starting to sound like the 9/11 and UFO conspiracy nuts. It doesn't matter that the Democrats fairly won the election even with Diebold voting machines in place around the country, they're still evil and this must all be part of some vast Rovian conspiracy. There's no way Diebold will ever regain your trust, because you refuse to give it no matter what. So why should their CEO take anything you say seriously?
