Ellis in 98 or 99? as a lobbyist. Gates of course being Billy's dad. Billy hired Ralph Reed I believe specifically to lobby Pres. candidate Bush due to the monopoly trouble Microsoft was in. Now Ralph and Jack are buddies, and Preston Gates and Ellis are hooked into Microsoft, and who else enters the picture? None other than Walden O'Dell-of diebold fame. The die was cast prior to the first election that GW would win, Microsoft would get off lightly and Diebold would make some money. I have not found a specific source that ties it all together, but have been studying this for days. There is no other explanation as to why Diebold would allow states like NC to kick them out simply because the absolutely refuse to reveal their software.
