(17,469 posts)They sold off their voting division in 2009. Lost their shirt doing it too.
I also work in the IT field. I also was one of the people who was right at the center of the whole BBV issue over a decade ago. I helped expose Diebold's lies and was part of the team that exposed their emails to the public. I also sat on the NC Select Committee on E-Voting and helped craft NC S223, The Public Confidence in Voting Act, passed unanimously by the NC legislature in 2005. My key contributions were fighting for inclusion of language that required random post election audits, a voter-verified paper trail with ALL touch screen voting machines, that source code be presented for examination before elections, and that voting machine CEO's had to sign a sworn statement that the code supplied for examination was the same code used on election day. Perjuring yourself on that statement was made a felony. Diebold quit NC rather than comply with the law after they were unsuccessful suing to get it overturned.
I came to DU to work and discuss this very issue back in 2002. So, I know a little bit about the topic.
