Read about O'Dell (CEO of Diebold) and his GOP fundraising activities. 
In a fall 2003 letter to Republicans, he wrote "I am committed to 
helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president." Coming from 
the head of the company responsible for collecting and counting votes, 
that's scary. Add the 'proprietary' code in the voting machines that no 
one is allowed to see, and it's probably criminal.
