Diebold Exposure Increasing

The Diebold insecure e-voting situation (first addressed in this 13 Dickinson St post, but see also this post) is finally hitting the mainstream media: New York Times; CNN/AP.

Diebold has been taking a page from the Scientology strategy book and suing the students who provide web access to internal company documents (which prove the insecure nature of their machines/procedures, and detail sundry violations of state and Federal elections laws) for - you guessed it - copyright violations.

We really, really, really, really, really need to kill the DMCA. I mean, for the sake of our very democracy (such as it is).
