Did E-Vote Firm Patch Election?
Edited on Mon Oct-20-03 09:40 AM by Timefortruth
"Diebold Election Systems has had a tumultuous year, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better."

"Now a former worker in Diebold's Georgia warehouse says the company installed patches on its machines before the state's 2002 gubernatorial election that were never certified by independent testing authorities or cleared with Georgia election officials."

"If the charges are true, Diebold could be in violation of federal and state election-certification rules. The charges also raise questions about the integrity of the Georgia election results and any other election that uses patched Diebold systems that have not been re-certified."

"According to Rob Behler, an engineer hired as a contractor to work in Diebold's Georgia warehouse last year, the Diebold systems had major functioning problems. "

Why hasn't anyone filed suit?

3. This was discussed last week when the story came out
As to why no one files suit, you have to find someone with the money to pay the lawyers.

The GOP won't because they won and they will not do anything which calls Chimpy's election into question (more than it is). The Dems won't because they are afraid of being called sore losers.

"..to those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies and pause to America's friends.

- John Ashcroft

"No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs.

Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

- Patrick Henry

4. A freeper posted this too
No real activity, yet, and I doubt it will get many responses.
