Diebold software is not made by Microsoft, Diebold has their own. I'm no software expert, but a friend of mine who knows Steve Wozniak at Apple said that Woz tested the Diebold software and found it remarkably easy to hack in and fix final results. He warned the officials in Ohio but they did nothing. Probably because they're GOP-led. Not only that but in places like Ohio 2004, the GOP who were in charge of buying voting machines insisted on a paperless model, so recounts would be impossible, and paid more for those machines than competing bids. Further, the CEO of Dbeild promised to deliver Ohio for Bush. And there was at least one sighting of Diebold techies in the precinct counting rooms on election night with GOP operatives. Now you may be a Republican, but be honest, when exit polls showed Kerry had won turn out to be wrong by 250,000+ votes within a two hour period at the end of the day, there is an enormous amount of smoke coming from that fiery hole. Democrats suspected something like this might happen but did not have the political power to replace those machines prior to the election. So it is likely they had a lot to do with Bush's 2nd last minuite come from behind victory in a row.

>>If only O'Reilly or Hannity were half the man that Dan Rather is and 1/4 as professional. Your days of criticizing quality while you harbor all the schlock in the world are over.<< Hannity and O'Reilley did cover the diebold lie, there was nothing there they moved on. Did you ever stop to wonder why the writer of that piece never tells you what position the "whistle blower" held? Nope, your vision is that it looks like it can hurt Bush, so screw the details. It will turn out he probably some Left-wing maintenace jack that has absolutly NO knowledge of how voting machines work...egg on the democrats face AGAIN. Don't you guy's get tired off wiping scramble from your face? Apparently, you did not read my post very carefully. It was AS who posted the story. I told him I don't buy into stories from unfamiliar sites like rawstory.com. In fact, I don't pay much attention to sites on either side of the political spectrum. A classic example is Drudge..........he gets it wrong about as much as he gets it right. Hence, I don't believe a story until I see it in the mainstream press and then it has to be corroborated by facts. >Your days of criticizing quality while you harbor all the schlock in the world are over. << ?? How so? I don't consider Hannity or O'Reilly journalists. They are ideologues posing as newsmen.
