These guys make ATMs. ATMs do not miscount. They do not fail to log transactions. They do not do these things pretty much ever.

Interestingly, if I recall, their President is one of the key fundraisers for the Republican party.

Interesting. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...

@_rt¹⁰⁰: Me too - My point is that we have a company run by an extremely partisan hands-on style manager, with 30 or more years experience leading the world in production of highly accurate and reliable banking machines, who can't seem to make a tamper proof and reliable voting device and who claims making a machine that prints a receipt would be "too hard".

I don't care which side he's on, I smell a rat. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...

Hah! This is Diebold Election Systems renamed. What a terrible company. One of many things that makes me ashamed of my government. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...

@Sticks Calhoun: If I recall correctly, Diebold upper management changed their name and kicked the voting machine group out of the company, for besmirching their name and reputation. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...

@jepzilla: That's correct. One of the worst moves that company ever made was getting into the electronic voting machine business and doing it poorly.

My dad worked for them for 38 years and at one time (hold your applause Tenacious D fans) worked on the "tube technology" for drive up teller windows.

I'll always remember the day he brought home some photos of a new project the company was working on. They wanted to take ATM machine technology and integrate them with gas pumps, that way you could drive up, insert your card, pump your gas and drive away. I recall my dad saying something how the company won't get into this because it is not what we do well.

The road to profitability is paved with coulda, woulda, shoulda's. Some of those are good, some are bad. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...

How f*ucking hard is it to add numbers?! Security should have been the *only* thing requiring serious attention. #californiavotingmachineinvesti...
