Let's Expose Diebold's Potemkin Offices!

From Kathy Dopp via Dee Taylor via Joseph Cannon I learn this astonishing news:

Diebold sold its voting equipment in Utah in part by convincing Utah decision-makers that it had "about 20 offices in Utah" and so was a big company with substantial presence.

However, a local volunteer noticed that only one of Diebold's Utah office (in Evergreen Business park) answered its phones and that all the others listed in the white pages never answered its phones.

See White Pages (type in Diebold as the business and select Utah)

A few days ago this volunteer drove around to all Diebold's locations in 3 counties and discovered that of the 18 Utah offices listed in White Pages - 16 of the listed Diebold locations were phoney and the addresses belonged to either a Walmart or a Sam's Club or no building at all.

To which Cannon adds:

We should conduct similar investigations in other states. How much of Diebold is a Potemkin village?

So I tried it myself, starting here:

1. We are working on it in Texas.

Looks a lot like the same thing. I thought this was supposed to be on the QT, according to Kathy.

2. Wow, What a scam!

It's amazing but perhaps they have agreements with "Walmart" to have an office in their stores?

Can anyone go to one of the Walmarts listed and ask them if they have a Diebold office in the store? We need to investigate.

3. SuperWalmarts lease space

in the front of the store to many different companies, i.e., local banks and beauty shops.

I can't imagine why Diebold would want office space in a retail location, but..........we need more than Google searches to make sense of this. We need eyes and ears on the ground in these WalMart locations.

Check this one out in Georgia:
Diebold
201 Walmart Circle, Sandersville, GA 31082
