changed,
so that it no longer matches the correct votes. The voting system will then read the totals from the
bogus vote set. Whether you vote absentee, on touch-screens, or on paper ballot (fill in the bubble)

ZetaTalk: Diebold Wins
optical scan machines, all votes are ultimately brought to the central tabulator at the county which
adds them all up and creates the results report. This problem appears to demonstrate intent to
manipulate election. GEMS system contained three sets of books. Ask an accountant: It is never
appropriate to have two sets of books inside accounting software. The data tables in accounting
software automatically link up to each other to prevent illicit back door entries. In GEMS, however,
the voting system will draw information from a combination of the real votes and a set of fake votes,
which you can alter any way you see fit.

Diebold Employed At Least Five Convicted Felons In Management Positions http://techdirt.com/
'Not only has Diebold been shown to have incredibly insecure technology on their electronic voting
machines (universal password: 1111), had their CEO say that he was going to help his party win the
election, been trying to sue every whistle-blower who calls them on this, admitted that they're going
to try to jack up prices for anyone who tries to force them to add a paper trail and been caught
using uncertified software in a recent election, now it also turns out that they've employed at least
five convicted felons in management roles at their voting machine subsidiary. In fact, a senior VP of
the group, who was responsible for writing and maintaining the code used in their voting systems,
served time in prison for stealing money and tampering with computer files.'

Thousands of Florida ballots missing? [Oct 27] http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6346293/ ‘Mailed
Oct. 7-8, many have not been delivered yet. U.S Postal Service investigators Wednesday were trying
to find thousands of absentee ballots which should have been delivered to voters in one of Florida’s
most populous counties, officials said. Broward deputy supervisor of elections Gisela Salas said
60,000 absentee ballots, accounting for just over 5 percent of the electorate in the county north of
Miami, were sent out between Oct. 7 and Oct. 8 to voters who would not be in town on election day.
While some had begun to be delivered, her office had been inundated with calls from anxious voters
who still had not received their ballots. U.S. Postal Service Inspector Del Alvarez, whose federal
agency is independent from the U.S. Postal Service, said it had yet to be determined if the ballots
reached the post office.’

Voting Paper Trail Advocate Dies In ?Tragic Accident? [Mar 20] ‘Gibbs, an accountant for more
than 30 years and the inventor of the TruVote system, died when his vehicle collided with an 18 -
wheeled truck which rolled his Chevy Blazer several times and forced it over the highway retaining
wall where it came to rest on its roof. 'I?ve been an accountant, an auditor, for more than 30 years.
Electronic voting machines that don?t supply a paper trail go against every principle of accounting
and auditing thats being taught in American business schools,' Gibbs insisted. 'Diebold and ES&S
are all Republicans.” [Note: if the death of democracy did not happen in Florida in the 2000
presidential elections, Diebold will finish the job.]
Voting Machine Controversy
Aug 28, 2003 by the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-
raising letter that he is 'committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next
year.' The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O?Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become
active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the
propriety of allowing O?Dells company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election. O ?Dell
attended a strategy pow-wow with wealthy Bush benefactors - known as Rangers and Pioneers - at
the presidents Crawford, Texas, ranch earlier this month. Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell,
also a Republican, was set to qualify Diebold as one of three firms eligible to sell upgraded
electronic voting machines to Ohio counties in time for the 2004 election. State Sen. Jeff Jacobson, a
Dayton-area Republican, asked Blackwell in July to disqualify Diebold after security
