Days after this ran, shareholders sued Diebold over this scandal and the CEO resigned. They later sold off their election machines division.

I previously published this story that won a national journalism award:

Right after it ran, the Washington Post or NY Times came out with a story that slot machines were more reliable than voting machines.

My reporting helped convince CA's Sec. of State to ban the worst of these machines, though there are still many bad ones out there, and now she's no longer in office.

You should all keep talking about this and don't stop -- the issues are far from resolved, election theft is a very real concern we should all have.
