This is being parroted way out of context. The CEO of Diebold was chairman of some committee - I forget whether it was the Republican party or a re-election committee - that was working on re-electing Bush. He was clearly speaking in this capacity. Yes, he should have known better than to utter something like that, but surrounded by fellow Republicans at a re-election rally it's understandable. >On a similar note, a local professor obtained the machine code for the units >and had his students analize it.

Anyone interested in knowing more should surf on over to http://blackboxvoting.org/ and get a good background. BTW, if anyone has the exit polls of the 2004 presidential election before the polling organization "corrected" them to match the reported vote totals, please contact me off-list. --- David _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
