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.

You know, all those gearheads who figured out how to hack a voting machine weren’t lying. The Diebold hysterics were indeed hysterics, but there were easy ways to hack voting machines, and it wasn’t nutcases who figured it out. A friend of mine who is an IT wizard explained just how easy it was.
