The connections between Diebold and the Repubs stinks to whatever high
heaven there
might be. The president and CEO of Diebold, Warren O'Dell, wrote in an
invitation
to a $1000/plate fundraiser for the Ohio Republican Party that he is
"committed to
helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

A correspondent to the comp.risks newsgroups notes that counties that used Diebold voting machines exhibited odd-ball voting patterns, i.e., disproportionately large number of votes for obscure candidates: http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/22.95.html#subj7
A more detailed analysis of these anomalies is available in the October 8 entry at Mark Crispin Miller's weblog, http://markcrispinmiller.blogspot.com; you'll have to scroll down to see it. Some obscure candidates received votes ONLY in counties with Diebold machines.
