8. Interesting statement by Diebold in article:
--snip--

But after BlackBox and Sancho announced the results, the Ohio-based company's senior lawyer, Michael Lindroos, sent a letter to Sancho, the county and the state that questioned the results and called the test "a very foolish and irresponsible act" that may have violated licensing agreements.

Sancho also criticized the Florida Secretary of State's Office, which approves voting machines for use in the state, for not catching the alleged problems with Diebold's system.

--snip--

Okay so licensing agreements take precedence over the right to a fair vote? Lindroos seems to think that knowingly selling an inferior and defective product to count something as important as votes is the State's fault, not theirs for misrepresenting the capabilities of what they were selling. Shouldn't that be a lawsuit against Diebold for killing democracy?
