''I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year,'' wrote
Mr. O'Dell, whose company is based in Canton, Ohio.

BTW I shut down somebody talking about how Diebold couldn't give a paper trail for voting
because it was too hard ..... I went and got a pack of gum and pen for about $2.00 and then drove
up to my bank and had diebold print out a receipt of my transactions and that $2.00 showed right
up 2 miles and 10 minutes later.

God I wish somebody would get ahold of these crooks ..... they are and were cheaters. I worked
the Presidential election in Ohio 2004 and saw it stolen .... it made me crazy for 2 to 3 years.
