This morning, I'm listening to the radio and an "expert" is ranting on the alleged conspiracy and security dangers of Diebold voting machines. He claims intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the company, pronouncing it "die-bold." Call me a skeptic, but if you possess inside knowledge, shouldn't you know how to pronounce the name? ("dee-bold")
But, I believe there is a more pertinent question. For decades, Diebold has been a worldwide leader in ATMs and other banking equipment. They own over 60% of the U.S. banking market. I heard no significant outcry about trusting their equipment with hundreds of millions of our account numbers, passwords, etc. over these decades, with many billions of dollars at stake. Why think security and ethics will be different with votes?
