Diebold to Withdraw from E-Voting?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the lots-of-polishing-to-do dept.

ICA writes "It appears after years of criticism, Diebold may be ready to withdraw from electronic voting entirely. The company is concerned that this relatively small and marginally profitable unit is hurting the company's overall image."

    Translation:
    We got what we wanted from the unit, a Bush presidency and business friendly congress. Now that Bush is over and the congress has gone over to the Dems and there is no new candidate on the horizon that is as business friendly as we would like, then there is not much point in continuing the effort.

    Now that there's no more "elect George Bush and his Republican minions" industry, why would they stay in the business?

    Good point.

    Let's hang all Germans because of the Nazis.
    Let's imprison all American's because of a bad President.
    Let's imprison all Russians because of Stalin.
    And while we're at it let's get the Cambodians for Pol Pot.

    Why stop there, let's imprison anyone who worked for Enron because Kenneth Lay was a bad guy! He couldn't have made the mistakes he made if his underlings didn't work hard to support him! If Ken Lay was bad, they must all be bad!

    Your logic is flawed.
