Reply #19: Diebold should continue to be opposed

They're a symptom of the real disease. They are a repuke company who builds a machine that can be easily rigged. They refuse to allow their machines' software to be audited..."trade secrets".

As a computer programmer for the last 4 decades I can assure you that voting is a dumb-simple application. There's nothing remotely like "rocket science" about it. Anyone who pretends otherwise is full of shit.

For voting machines, we need OPEN SOURCE software analyzed and audited by the community...not "proprietary" vote-rigging on demand.

We need uniform, national voting standards that guarantee that voting is accessible and that everyone's vote is counted. It's absurd to leave it in the hands of the states and counties...where the majority of the election corruption lives.

The real disease though is private financing of our elections. The cure is PUBLIC financing of all elections. In California, we have a chance to begin that process by voting yes on Proposition 89 -- the Clean Money Initiative.

YES ON 89
