Diebold Leaks 2008 Election Results

Posted by samzenpus on from the vote-early-vote-often dept.

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."

    Wow, embedding a flash movie directly on slashdot. Considering 90% don't RTFA this is going to be the worst /.ing that's ever happened!

      They don't allow Flash here at work. It is a bummer....keeps us out of other sites too.

      Where do you work? Smart decision makers there.

      I swear, some people miss no opportunity to smugly mention their ad-blocker. What smug comment? Oh, that's right, I don't see them because I use the Smug-Block extension.

    Funny, probably, but does it really belong in what's supposed to be a serious section?

    Guess we know who woke-and-boke this morning. In the future, hit the bong after you've posted to /. for the day. Says the guy who actually just used the 'word' "boke"

    Take a look at the "topic" icon - that foot thingy? If you hold the mouse over it for a second or two, it'll give you a secret message about the reason the article was posted.
