The "burden of proof" in ANY balloting process is upon the process itself. It cannot be and must not ever be upon the people whose lives, property, and liberties depend upon the integrity of that process!

So, quite frankly, I don't give a FUCK about 'proving' Diebold corrupt or 'proving' any particular instance of fraud. It cannot be regarded as reliable when the (electronic) recording and tabulation is not open to surveillance and scrutiny. Absolutely nothing in the balloting process can be kept from public view other than the individual vote itself.

Unless and until there is a verifiable paper ballot subject to audit and recount, this nation's democracy is not even close to being secure.
