Oh please.  The United States' political system is screwed up, but willful manipulation by Diebold has to be last on my list of probable contributors to the problem.

Lighten up. It's a dramatization; a satire of what Diebold might do to cover up its own incompetence.

If you can't trust your shadowy overloads to keep a secret, what is the purpose really of voting in the public democracy

Yeah, pretty funny Smiley.

Seriously though, the security of the Diebold "products" are genuinely bad.  Running the main database on MS-Access alone was enough to call for 'em to be lined up and tasered half to death Sad.

Claims of 'victimization' seem to be the trendy Republican mantra.  I was listening to Hannity today (for the few minutes I could stomach him) and he was crying about Republican victims too.
