Diebold Proven to be Hackable in Leon Cnty FL

BlackBoxVoting (via Kos): "Due to security design issues and contractual non-performance, Leon County supervisor of elections Ion Sancho told Black Box Voting that he will never use Diebold in an election again. He has requested funds to replace the Diebold system from the county." Here is a copy of Sancho's press release on the Diebold hack test. Add this news to this info from BradBlog: "A Securities Fraud Class Action suit has been filed against Diebold naming 8 top exec officers in the company as co-defendants. The suit was filed Tuesday in US Fedrl District Crt in Ohio and alleges the company "artificially inflated" stock prices thru misleading public info designed to conceal the true nature of Diebold's financial and legal situation. The defendants are also alleged to have attempted to disguise well-known and ongoing problems w/ Diebold's Voting Machine equipment and software. Additionally, the suit alleges insider trading by defendants resulting in proceeds of $2.7 milln. Hmm... I guess all of this is why Ohio's Repubs (almost all of whom are implicated in Ohio's GOP and Gov Taft's crimes) are trying to ram House Bill 3 thru as fast as they can. As this OSU professor's testimony assesses (PDF), it will effectively END all election RECOUNTS and completely shield Diebold when they hand yet another stolen election to the GOP.
