Who own`s and who are directors at Diebold?
Just wondering who they are. I`m willing to bet that some of them have ties to the republican party or past administrations.

1. go and surf "Senator Hagel voting machines"..he didn't report information
to the Ethics committee about his involvement/investments with voting machine's. they counted about 80% of the votes in his last 2 elections and some of his victories were considered suspicious..

2. Hagel is not involved with Diebold. But it does have Bush/Cheney ties
Edited on Sun Aug-10-03 09:58 AM by BevHarris
CEO Wally O'Dell hosted Dick Cheney in a fund raiser a few weeks ago, raising about $500,000.

A director named Timken (sorry, haven't had my coffee yet, can't pull his first name from memory) is a Bush pioneer (meaning gave bookoo bucks to Bush) and recently hosted George W. Bush in a visit to his Ohio company, also called Timken.

Hagels' involvement is with Election Systems & Software, the nation's biggest voting machine company. He was Chairman of this company until 2 weeks before announcing his bid for the U.S. Senate, and continued to hold a stake of up to $5 million in the ES&S parent company, The McCarthy Group. Hagel's campaign finance director, Michael McCarthy, is one of the main owners of ES&S.

That being said, I believe that following the money trail on these voting machines, especially when we start considering the lobbying money, contributions, and kickbacks, we will find many Democrats feeding in the trough as well.

3. If Ms. Dowd wanted to get serious
Voting machines are the flags to raise.

4. Democrats feeding in the trough as well?
from an investment in the company or benefitting from a sub-standard, illegal?, pick-the-numbers-you-want selection fraud?
