re: #83 DaddyG

I beg to differ- Deibold was smeared by a wide spectrum of nut cases and the smear continues to go on. In this case the smear was damaging to confidence in the electoral process through no fault of Deibold or their employees. In the case of ACORN there was bad behavior on the part of their employees in several repeated instances and the fact that the organization did not overtly condone the actions does not make them innocent of poor and damaging practices. It just takes their central management off the hook for conspiracy to defraud or other related charges.

The Diebold smear didn’t get anywhere near the wide play that the ACORN crap has in the MSM, in my memory. Possibly I misremember.
