to clarify....I simply meant that it is absurd, IMO, to conclude that the background story of the HBO docu, "Hacking Democracy", the spectacle of former Diebold CEO being a Bush "pioneer", and publicly committing to deliver the 2004, Ohio vote "to president Bush", the spectacle of brothers

....and of Chuck Hagel not disclosing, for the first ten weeks of his '96 senate campaign, that he was still CEO of a major electronic voting vendor, and later, that he was a principle in the private holding company that still owned that e-voting vendor.....is "move along now, folks....nothing to see here".! Just watch the google video that I linked to "Hacking Democracy", and then explain why Cuyahoga county in Ohio, would choose to spend $22 million on Diebold scanning e-voting systems, after the hearing excerpts shown in that documentary.....how could they reach a decision like that, with what they were told in advance about the deficiencies in what Diebold was offering?
