Grand Old Police Blotter: Kumbaya Edition

From Wired:

The panel [investigating voting machine irregularties in California] discovered last November that Diebold had installed uncertified software on the machines.

The voting panel also recommended to Shelley that he ask the state attorney general to examine the possibility of bringing civil and criminal charges against Diebold for violating California election codes, which state that vendors cannot change software without notifying the secretary of state's office. The codes also say that no vendor can install uncertified software on voting systems.

"This doesn't solve the problems," said Tab Iredale, a Diebold developer. "It just sets a tone of confrontation at a time when we should be working together to address issues with the certification process."

Tab added, "Diebold grew up in a non-supportive home environment, and is currently undergoing therapy to understand the root causes of its inability to respond appropriately in its interactions with authority figures."
