Does "Election Systems & Software" Deserve an "A" in Ethics?

"The plans would likely burden the two largest electronic voting machine vendors in the United States, Election Systems & Software and Dominion Voting Systems, with new regulations and financial burdens," according to Newsweek. click here

Newsweek added, "...on February 19 and March 4 Emily Kirlin and Jen Olson, who have lobbied on behalf of Election Systems & Software over the last year donated $1,000 to McConnell each."

This is just a sample of controversies swirling around the leader of the pack in the business of voting in America.

Unfortunately, it is unclear whether the House and Senate in Washington D.C. will provide the oversight and legislative action necessary to hold these powerful election companies accountable and make them more transparent.

Which leads me back to the Business Ethics Alliance in Omaha.

I sent an email this weekend to Professor Beverly Kracher, the founder and Senior Ethicist there. I shared with her some of the information I've acquired about ES&S. And I asked her to comment on the ethical implications of the issues raised.

I have not heard back from her. Maybe she is busy. Perhaps Professor Kracher did not want to be quoted in an article. Whatever the reason, I have a new idea.

Maybe the Business Ethics Alliance can hold public forums to explore the purported actions of ES&S and their ethical implications.

Who knows? Maybe C-SPAN would even cover the event.
