Diebold’s Latest Security DebaclePosted on Jan 24, 2007
It turns out Diebold uses a universal key to access its voting machines, meaning that anyone who has one, a minute of free time and a little know-how can steal an election without a trace. What’s worse, the company made an image of the key available on its website, allowing at least one viewer to produce multiple working copies.

This was to be expected specifically from Diebold when the head of the company sent that letter confirming his devotion to a Republican election victory. And the Republicans have blocked attempts to ensure a paper trail for the electronic votes, which would have provided some slight ability to check the system.

For pity’s sake, why didn’t they just put up a huge sign on their website in flashing letters saying “How To Commit Voter Fraud”? They might as well have done. And while we’re on the subject…wasn’t it Warren O’Dell, the CEO of Diebold, who said on the record that he was committed to delivering the Ohio electoral college votes to Bush in the 2004 election?

Maybe we can ask the Russians to monitor our next election. Vote early and vote often or not at all - the results will be the same.

Just give several sets of keys to Bush so he and his followers can steal every election results easily and don’t need the high court’s interference. They’re all pickpockets in modern time.

Horrifying, especially when you stop to realize that the head of Diebold has publically indicated his desire to have Republicans in power in perpetuity. I guess we should be thankful though that Bush and his cohorts like the Diebold CEO have turned out to be so utterly incompetent in the long run. Otherwise, our Democracy would already be dead.
