Reply #30: The best way to have pursued the issue

[Kelvin Mace]

would have been an investigation launched by the California legislature, complete with subpoena power. There were a number of state senators very upset with Diebold so that would not have been hard to arrange.

Such an action would placed Diebold on the defensive and probably forced some of the programmers and execs to plead the fifth.

Such an action would have cracked open Diebold for many other states to launch similar investigations.

What we wanted was TRUTH, not money.

Imagine the spectacle of putting Diebold programmers and sales reps before a committee UNDER OATH.

Now, it won't happen.

Not unless we come up with something new in a different state.
