Diebold: Broke and Brokener...
Holy crap.
Sorry not to be my usual semi-cogent self, but ... holy crap.
So I'm at a meeting all day, and I hit the web this evening only to learn what is perhaps the biggest piece of Diebold news since the early 2004 stories about Diebold's vulnerabilities and ties to the Republican party.
In a nutshell: there is now a strong "if it walks like a duck" case to be made that the Georgia election in which Vietnam veteran Max Cleland was ousted from his Senate seat was probably cooked.
Fraudulent.
Stolen.
At the very least, highly highly irregular. A DailyKos diary breaks the news, more cogently than I'm capable of at the moment, with all sorts of details and suggestions that we check out tomorrow's Rolling Stone magazine.
Doesn't sound like there's quite "smoking gun" evidence yet, but like I said before ... QUACK!
P.S. This is another good reason to flip control of the House and Senate this year. So we can actually get some congressional inquiries going into this quite un-holy crap.
