2. What's the matter with Diebold software?

"... inefficiency in the company’s software development process."

4. Isn't also strange that their stock went down in the past *year*.

"The company’s stock has tumbled more than 30% this year, closing Monday at $37.73."

"Harris revealed that a program patch titled “rob-georgia.zip” was left on an unsecured server and downloaded over the Internet by Diebold technicians before loading the unauthorized software onto Georgia voting machines. “They didn’t even TEST the fixes before they told us to install them,” Behler stated, adding that machines still malfunctioned after patches were installed."

:wow:
