Just Google "Diebold Republican" and you'll see why the Dems were so opposed to them. It's not just (formerly) Diebold, too. The GOP ties to the voting machines are all up and down the line, too...not just on hardware, but on software, deployment, etc.

And they knew there were glitches but fought tooth and nail against putting in security measures like those in lottery systems.

“The problem with computer-assisted voting systems was that they centralized the opportunity for fraud.” - ES&S vice president Gary Greenhalgh in a NY Times article.

Interesting to note that Greenhalgh got his start in the election business under Ransom Shoup (convicted on felony bribery counts in 1979.) Oh, and Greenhalgh’s employer in 1999 (MicroVote, where he worked as national sales director)sent $130k in bribery payments to an election official in Mecklenburg County.

And take a guess what company’s machines are used in most NC counties.
