**"The Diebold insider, who took on the appellation “Dieb-Throat” in an interview with voting rights advocate Brad Friedman ([BradBlog.com](http://BradBlog.com)), was once a staunch supporter of electronic voting’s potential to produce more accurate results than punch cards.**

But the company insider became disillusioned after witnessing repeated efforts by Diebold to evade meeting legal requirements or implementing appropriate security measures, putting corporate interests ahead of the interests of voters.

“I’ve absolutely had it with the dishonesty,” the insider told RAW STORY. Blasting Wally O’Dell, the current president of Diebold, the whistleblower went on to explain behind-the-scenes tactics of the company and its officers."

Why the hell does the government INSIST on electronic voting anyway?  
Every year, I go into the old-school voting machine, that works perfectly, i choose who i want, pull the handle, and my vote is not hacked. It’s simple and foolproof. Is this too hard for everyone?
