1. so, at least we now have a monopoly?
Why the fuck didn't the GOVERNMENT buy this company and manufacture voting machines that actually work?

Or is it impossible to hold fair elections no matter what we do?

2. It makes sense that Diebold sells off
it did it's job stealing the 2004 election in Ohio. It's job is done. Now the name Diebold can fade away as the profiteering traitors laugh at the rest of us becsuse they got away with gaming the electoral system.
