BBV: Big story on Yahoo -- Group Fears Threats of E-Voting Company

[maggrwaggr]

A civil rights group fears legal threats from an electronic voting company are having a "chilling effect" among Internet service providers, students and voting rights advocates.

Cindy Cohn, legal director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argued in court Monday that Diebold Inc. should be legally barred from sending cease-and-desist letters to activists, who are publishing links to leaked documents about alleged security blunders at one of the nation's biggest e-voting companies.

16. I don't think it occured to Diebold

that by issueing cease and desist orders that it would just bring more attention on the problem...

or that it may make people wonder just how secure and reliable the black-boxes are if it's sooooo easy to hack into their e-mails and other files
