Diebold Elections Div. Jolted by Security Concerns

Washington, DC - Diebold's Elections Division is in serious trouble. In this week' s delayed second quarter earnings report Diebold admits that negative perceptions of Diebold's AccuVote TS and TSx voting systems have produced 'lower revenue' and lower' margin and earnings per share'. In its second quarter earnings report, Diebold had high hopes its Elections Division would prop up earnings in its troubled ATM division by 5% to 37%. These problems are likely to escalate as problems in the largest voting market in the United States, California, may cause Diebold to be excluded from that market.

1. Isn't that a tragedy. Did diebold just think that everyone would forget

that they helped the BFEE steal at least two national elections? I don't think so.

4. They compromize the secrecy of the vote.

How do you explain a problem with the machine without exposing who your voting for? I'm voting for one canidate and it keeps checking off the other. So the tech. goes into check it out. They select Bush and Bush is checked. Then they select Kerry and Bush is checked. The tech. now knows who you are voting for. Who needs exit polls when you have prevoting polls?

A concept whose time has come.

7. I do believe it is time for the stock holders to SELL, don't you?

Anyone holding a dime of their stock by this time next year is a total fool.

8. If it's money they need, Bush and Congress will short the troops

on more supplies, and give it to Diebold. No problem.
