As The Gun Smokes -- Diebold

Is gaming an election enough to get you mad?

In Atlanta Georgia, two counties that are majority black somehow voted for two of the whitest people in Georgia, despite the fact that both of the Republicans were behind in the polls by as much as 11 percent in the week before the voting started.

I heard about this before it got on the news at all (computer geek friends), but what bothers me is that nobody seems to care.

A C-level boss from Diebold (Bob Urosevich) came into town to 'fix' a clock issue. Why an executive? He only had a fix for two counties: Fulton and Dekalb.

After he left the clock wasn't fixed. But the election was.

Georgia official Cathy Cox (now in a cushy job at a college) sent memos (which are circulating now) to Mr. Urosevich asking why the clock was still wrong. She got no response.

One of Diebold's engineers had been previously convicted of 23 counts of felony for putting 'back doors' in ATM software. Nice.

Mr. Walden O'Dell told a group of Republicans that Diebold was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

I don't know what your politics are. Mine are related to being a citizen of the United States of America. I don't care who the election was for, I want the election to be legit.

How could my fellow citizens sit back and let this happen? Stay tuned.
