Diebold Patch May Be Evidence of '02 Election Tampering

An anonymous reader writes "Stephen Spoonamore, founder of IT security firm Cybrinth and former advisor to John McCain, claims he has new evidence of election tampering by Diebold in the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senate races. A whistleblower gave Spoonamore a patch that was applied to Diebold machines in person by the Diebold CEO. Spoonamore confirmed that the patch did not correct the clock problem it supposedly addressed, but contained two parallel programs. Without access to the hardware, he could not learn more. He reported his findings to the Justice Department, which has not acted."

    Ha, we've got a Diebold fan with mod points, have we? Sorry, but it isn't trolling to provide a nice piece of evidence of a company's reputation in a thread devoted precisely to that company's questionable reputation.
