Diebold grabbed elections data from 3:31pm on the DAY OF THE RACE in SLO County. If the data isn public record, then what the hell were they doing with it?!
California Penal Code 19205(c) says that the Secretary of State shall not approve voting systems that are “subject to tampering”. GEMS doesn’t even begin to qualify, once you know that MS-Access is a “hack tool”. By withholding the info on grotesque security flaws via MS-Access, Diebold violated God only knows how many contracts plus that element of state law. – Diebold’s own internal memos show that they fully understood the issues Bev Harris discovered years later, knew they were in violation of a slew of laws, and lied to the Federal testing labs. It doesn’t get any worse – this is an “Enron grade” corporate ethics failure. d) The elements of “c” above lead to an “unclean hands” problem on Diebold’s. In court, the term “unclean hands” applies to somebody who tries to get “justice” when they themselves are law-breakers. This is why a crack dealer can’t sue his customers over failure to pay. e) I hope they do sue me in civil court. The discovery process will be an absolute blast. Depo
