Walden O'Dell
Inviting Bush supporters to a fund-raiser, the host wrote, "I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." No surprise there. But Walden O'Dell — who says that he wasn't talking about his business operations — happens to be the chief executive of Diebold Inc., whose touch-screen voting machines are in increasingly widespread use across the United States.

Now you have the name. It's not like it's a secret or anything.

2. Incredible negligence and incompetence.
If they aren't trying to hide anything, then what is the big deal about a paper receipt? Or revising the damn software to address the bugs?

As a programmer, I realize there are issues with software that arise, but in all the instances where I've been on a project, it is evaluated and updated as quickly as possible.

3. It might be bad if Diebold machines were in Ohio - They're NOT!

4. Is that a fact?
I don't know what the truth is. There is a poster, Lizzy on the Salon So Cal Dem article on this page that says she voted in Ohio on touchscreen.
