Hack the Vote

Chilling.

Inviting Bush supporters to a fund-raiser, the host wrote, “I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.” No surprise there. But Walden O’Dell, who says that he wasn’t talking about his business operations, happens to be the chief executive of Diebold Inc., whose touch-screen voting machines are in increasingly widespread use across the United States.

    I read about this a couple of months ago on Salon. There are some very evil and corrupt people in the pockets of the Republican party at Diebold. Another article I read pointed out how the IEEE’s commitee for electronic voting has a large and powerful group of belligerent right-wingers, who refuse to address the issue of voting machine auditablity. This is very unusual behavior from a consortium that is supposed to provide suitable, worldwde standards.

    Anyway AJ, it’s good to know you you’re still fighting the good fight.
