Electronic voting machine executive admits he is working for Bush
(Julie Carr Smyth, Plain Dealer, September 16, 2003)
[NOTE: This story is posted on Diebold's own Web site ... pretty brazen, huh?]

Walden O'Dell, chief executive of North Canton-based Diebold Inc., confirmed in an interview with Plain Dealer editors that he has been a top fund-raiser for the Republican president . . . In an invitation to a Republican fund-raiser at his suburban Columbus mansion, O'Dell said he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes for the president next year." . . . The letter closely followed a visit by O'Dell to a fund-raising powwow at Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch for six-figure fund-raisers known as "Pioneers and Rangers." . . . Because the fund-raising revelations fell closely on the heels of security questions raised about Diebold's machines in a later-questioned Johns Hopkins University study, O'Dell's critics began to suggest that Diebold should not be allowed to be involved in elections. . . . O'Dell was quick to point out that he has done nothing illegal. He also said he has no daily involvement with Diebold's election-systems division, which is based in Texas . . . O'Dell said he will not stop supporting Bush's campaign. He said he went to Bush's fund-raising event at the invitation of the campaign. . . . "They had an event for Pioneers and Rangers, and I am one - and proud of it," O'Dell said."

[COMMENT: I guess it can't hurt the Cheney-Bush junta to have the voting machine companies on their side ... particularly since this means we will no longer have a paper trail to see how they are stealing the elections.]
