Just as Microsoft Corp. owns Windows, Diebold Election Systems Inc. owns the code that runs its voting machines.

Diebold uses Microsoft, two peas in a pod, security through obscurity. But obscurity of MS's code and protocols is fading and exploits are getting easier. Same thing will happen to Diebold.

Open systems will eventually take over since this business is too important to be left to the fear mongers.
