From “20 Amazing Facts about Voting in the USA”:
• 80% of all votes are counted by two companies: Diebold and ES&S. ES&S counts about 60% of all votes.
• The Vice President of Diebold and the President of ES&S are brothers.
• The Chairman and CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor.
• Five convicted felons, employed as consultants and developers, were hired by Diebold to create the code that counted 50% of the votes in thirty states. Jeff Dean, a Diebold consultant, was convicted of planting “back doors” in his software — sophisticated code allowing subtle, undetectable manipulation of data.
• International election observers were not allowed to observe elections held in Ohio — the state where Diebold is based, and the state the CEO of Diebold promised to “deliver” to the president in 2004.
• All — not some, but all — voting machine errors detected and reported in Florida favored Republican candidates. The results of the Florida elections are so mathematically improbable, experts are recommending further investigation.
