I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year

Were those the words of the committee chairman to reelect President Bush?

No. They were uttered by Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold, whose touch-screen voting machines are in increasingly widespread use across the United States. Yes, the head of a firm whose voting machines tabulate American voters selections. The individual that's supposed to be the "head referee" of vote tallying hardware also serves as a leading fund raiser for W. Bush. Incredible.

Last month, Diebold got a bit miffed and started going after web hosters who published internal Diebold memos or even the links to the memos under the DMCA. Memos revealing shoddy electronic voting machine security.

Bev Harris, of blackboxvoting.org has a compiled a compendium on the chicanery in electronic voting as it has been implemented to date. In fact, there's a complete online book available detailing the damage. Very troubling is the text contained within those chapters....

I just received this from True majority, I have foward the following to many: The quote below tells the story of Florida 2000 in a few evil words. The Company Diebold was responsible for stealing thousands of votes from innocent blacks that year. If not for Diebold and Choice Point's DBT (all one and the same), Al Gore would have won Florida by 32,000 to 65,000 votes or more. (See link below for the evidence. You can download the chapters here.) http://www.gregpalast.com/c...
Companies like Diebold whose CEO, Walden W. O'Dell, recently wrote in a fundraising letter for the Republicans, "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year." It is everyone's civic duty to tell everyone they know, this terrible truth. Everyone MUST protest are scared, coward, so called national media to get the truth out.
