they don't even care... they know they're in like flynn, so wtf? why worry? they keep getting their contracts, and the oligarchs and the warmongers and the ball-players all get their slice of the pie.

7. Interesting
Those look like keys for the low-cost wafer locks used on office furniture and the like: low security, loose tolerance, easy to pick. Take a look at your nearest vending machine: chances are it'll have a more secure lock, such as a tubular pin tumbler. Ask yourself: why would a coke machine merit higher protection than a voting machine?

20. This sounds to me like a perfect out for Diebold!
To borrow from Condi... "No one could have imagined...".

24. Nope--go over to the product advertising section of their website
Seems like their hard-headed banker customers won't tolerate a system they can't control themselves.

16. Which is exactly what...

...the testers did. Diebold. The voting machine company that keeps on giving.

Please Note: I've also updated the original story with some new (and disturbing) details.
