1. Very funny. I like how they snuck in the legit complaint near the end:
Electronic voting system could potentially be tampered with, unlike paper ballots.

The "God mode" is quite a feature. No wonder they don't show their source code. They are just terrified that one of their programmers hid something like that in there. It might never be used (there are better ways to corrupt the electronic vote), but to find something like that in it would be the death of Diebold.
