Diebold CEO says voting machine review shouldn’t hurt company
Edited on Fri Apr-23-04 08:43 AM by SpikeTrees
“Diebold Devours Democracy.”
Democratic US Congressional Candidate Jeff Seemann of Canton spoke at the rally, then went in and spoke with the Diebold PR people. The Diebold suits gave all the usual answers. However, the experience in California speaks differently!

.........edit.........

California’s Voting Systems and Procedures Panel said Diebold has performed poorly and its machines malfunctioned in the state’s March 2 primary election, turning away many voters.
.........edit.........
The demonstrators that showed up in a parking lot outside of where the annual meeting took place have protested the machines for the past few months.

They brought three large red helium balloons with peace signs on them that lifted a large banner with the words “Diebold Devours Democracy.”
“What we are looking for from Diebold is an admission that their technology doesn’t work and that they have to fix it by providing voter verified paper ballots to restore openness, transparency and voter confidence,” said Mark Floegel, an organizer of True Majority’s “The Computer Ate My Vote” campaign.


edit: Mega-registration required The Canton Repository, that sounds like suppository

2. Don't give up. Give money to Bev Harris' s group. They are really
working hard for the rest of us. I did, and it helps me feel less guilty for not actually being there with her fighting for American democracy.

6. I don't even get how they will even consider Diebold . . .
when there is no way to do a recount (paper count) if the race is very, very close. I mean isn't that why they had to do it in Florida? Isn't it in the Constitution? (Regarding Florida, well, that is what they were suppose to do anyway).

How can we use this for federal elections when there is no way for a recount??? I have never heard anyone bring up this problem if a recount is needed????

Am I missing something??
