In reply to the discussion: Retired NSA Analyst Proves GOP Is Stealing Elections [View all]MessiahRp
(5,405 posts)180. RE: Diebold
You do know that Diebold's CEO Walden O'Dell promised to deliver Ohio to Bush in 2004 in speeches where he stumped for him and then in the middle of the night Ohio flipped thousands of votes in favor of Bush to throw the election his way. The machines they used in Ohio, were Diebold. Just because you get your money from a Diebold ATM doesn't mean that Diebold is some clean company.
