Meet the Urosevich brothers
Thursday, April 29, 2004

Via FARK.com (vanguard of free speech in America):

Meet the Urosevich brothers, Bob and Todd. Their respective companies, Diebold and ES&S, will count (using BOTH computerized ballot scanners and touchscreen machines) about 80% of all votes cast in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

Regardless of the slant of the source on this one, the 2004 election is likely to be every bit as close as the one in 2000. Voter fraud and election tampering are a reality in America. This was true long before Diebold existed. Yet with the nation so evenly divided it has become easier than ever to manipulate the democratic process.

I fear the repercussions of a stolen election in a polarized America.

Diebold in more trouble
Saturday, December 20, 2003

Via Slashdot:

"Looks like Diebold is in yet more trouble. In this article from Wired.com, an audit of the Diebold E-Voting machines revealed that the company installed uncertified software in all 17 counties that use its electronic voting equipment. While 14 counties used software that had been qualified by federal authorities but not certified by state authorities, three counties, including Los Angeles, used software that had never been certified by the state or qualified by federal authorities for use in any election. And in this article, Wired.com is reporting that at least five convicted felons secured management positions at a Diebold, including one who served time in a Washington state correctional facility for stealing money and tampering with computer files in a scheme that 'involved a high degree of sophistication and planning.'"

Nice. So what is keeping someone from rigging the 2004 election again? "What's the difference?"
