The CEO of Diebold, the company that is supplying states with touch-screen voting machines, said in a Republican fund raising letter dated August 14th that Diebold is “Committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”

That coupled with the lack of an audit trail on the Diebold voting machines adds up to bad fucking news for those who Diebold’s CEO doesn’t favor.

Now a leaked bulletin board type record of discussions from Diebold’s internal network have been making the rounds- they give a interesting/scary look at the people developing GEMS (Global Election Management System) several web sites have been taken down because Diebold has threatened use of the DMCA.

Fuck Diebold.

Here are the files. (lists.zip)
Also in the directory are the first nine chapters of Bev Harris’s book Black Box Voting- the publication of which Diebold is trying to stop. Enjoy.
