A few months ago, an internet user stumbled upon an anonymous ftp site that contained archives of emails sent to/from diebold. These memos indicate that diebold knowingly sold insecure voting equipment to states and also violated federal law by making changes to the sofware after certification. Diebold is currently on a mission to block this information from becoming public knowledge. Below are a few quotes from the memos that should scare anyone who believes in democracy.


Are these really the type of people you want running YOUR elections.

I have already been forced to remove the actual memos from my website, but you can try the following links to the complete memos unless/until they also get shut down.
