Something truely terrifying

If y'all aren't familiar with the controversy surrounding the Diebold voting machines, here it is in a nutshell: their machines are insecure and buggy. There is NO audit trail and it is VERY easy to mess with the results of an election. Furthermore, the management of Diebold has made VERY partisan comments along the lines of being, "Committed To Helping Ohio Deliver Its Electoral Votes To The President Next Year".
And, a few hundred memos have recently been leaked which do a great job of incriminating Diebold. They admit to bugs and all sorts of other problems in their own software. The creepiest installment of this is that now that the memos are out, Diebold has been sending Cease and Desist letters to websites hosting the memos. Great strategy guys, don't improve your product but try to silence your critics instead. I'm sure that'll give you guys positive PR...
