" Was it 'conspiracy garbage' that the Vulnerability Assessment
Team (which also monitors nuclear facilities) at Argonne National Laboratory
(the non-profit research lab operated by the University of Chicago for the
Dept. of Energy) released a report earlier this year finding that Diebold's
touch-screen systems and, according to the team's lead scientist, "pretty
much every electronic voting machine", can be hacked with just $10.50 in parts and an 8th grade science
education , or just $26 if you want to do it remotely?
" Was it 'conspiracy garbage' when, in Volusia County, FL's 2000
Presidential Election a paper-based optical-scan tabulator made by Global
Elections Management Systems (GEMS, thereafter purchased by Diebold to become
Diebold Election Systems, Inc.) tallied negative 16,022 votes for Al Gore thanks to a supposed "software flaw" which
has never been explained
by anyone, and which Leon County (Tallahassee), FL's Supervisor of Elections
Ion Sancho --- the man, so well respected by both major parties, that he was
placed in charge of the aborted 2000 Presidential Election recount in Florida
--- believes was a purposeful hack of the electronic tabulation system which is
now used in hundreds of counties in dozens of states?
