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."

Manipulating elections another way

McCain might also have tried to manipulate elections an old fashioned today by commenting on the probable timing of Obama's arrival in Iraq.

This is obviously a major security issue for Obama, and shows us why McCain should not be president.

If you were Diebold, you'd want to change your name too. Their reputation is so bad now that on June 30th on Jeopardy one of the clues was: "This machine electronically changes your vote into a vote for Mitt Romney." The correct question was "What is Diebold?"
