Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results

samzenpus writes "With all the scrutiny that Diebold has received in past few years you'd think that they would be more careful but apparently due to a malfunction in some machines, they have leaked the results to the 2008 presidential race early. Hopefully this will be the nail in Diebold's coffin. Surely we have another company in this country that can run a sham election better."

It's asinine to post Onion satire as news here

Now that's fucking hilarious. A Slashdot subscriber and a Mac luser accusing someone -else- of being incompetent.

Was it worth the money to get that little ASCII-anus next to your name you worthless asswipe?

Re:Since when was this Digg?

Not as long as some with 4 digit UIDs but enough years and enough karma to burn to know amusing stories show up but they are amusing REAL stories. It's a small step from this to amusing-crap-found-on-youtube. I spend more time on Digg these days because of the higher turnover rate for stories, but I stay with /. because it promotes real stories of real news and promotes real discussion. This example, however, was blatant ego spamming by an editor.
