...donated over $400,000 to the Republican Party in the last four years, and whose CEO has been quoted as saying that he would help “deliver Ohio’s electoral votes” to President Bush. Of course, it’s impossible to prove that Diebold effectively rigged Georgia’s election, but that’s exactly the point. As long as their code is proprietary—and it is—no one can.
