Reply #27: Great news! But I'm beginning to wonder if we should LET them get...

...out of Dodge without revealing their source code. You demand their source code and they skulk away. Makes me wonder. (Shelley demanded Diebold's source code in the course of his lawsuit against them--that's when forces from the Dark Side took Shelley down.)

Maybe Diebold was the "point man"--the company that did the actual "secret decoder ring" stuff for 2004 (with the GEMS tabulators?)--and it their secret code in particular that needs to be scrutinized for back doors, signs of illegally inserted code, and so on. I also think that the touchscreens must work particularly well with their election theft programming, because they keep pushing them so hard. You'd think they would back off in Calif, for instance, where they have optiscans everywhere anyway.

I would like to see a lawsuit that demanded to see their secret code AS IT WAS on Nov. 2, 2004. They keep changing it, and patching, and servicing. I think the code needs to be locked down, if that's possible--frozen, as is, for each election. It's like trying to hook a particular fish in a school of fish--all squirmy, and slippery, and changeable.

Of course, the problem is that it's SECRET. This puts we, the public, in an absurd position. We can NEVER KNOW FOR SURE what the hell they're doing.

I would be prepared for them to come back in force--although it's hard to guess what they will do. It does seem like Diebold is essential in some way to the election thieves. But also be on the alert for bait and switch. ES&S is no better, politically (and may be worse), and as to hackable technology, which may be sneakier. Is Diebold the attack dog on the political/legal front, while ES&S sits back quietly hacking their favorite Bushite Senators into office?

I always include them together. They're brothers, you know.
