Whistleblower facing charges over Diebold documents Stephen Heller is alleged to have exposed documents in Jan. & Feb. 2004 which prove that Diebold was using illegal, uncertified software in California voting machines, and that Diebold's California attorneys (the powerful international law firm Jones Day) had told them they were in breach of the law for using uncertified software. The documents Heller is accused of exposing show that Diebold and their attorneys, Jones Day, conspired to mislead the California secretary of state, and that the lie they told was material, and resulted directly in the disenfranchisement of voters. Another document demonstrates that Diebold lied to the secretary of state when it represented that certain problems with its software were "fixed", when they were not fixed. The documents show that Diebold had been advised by Jones Day that what it had been doing with its uncertified software was illegal, and that Jones Day advised Diebold that it was subject to criminal prosecution. According to Bev Harris, author of the book Black Box Voting, the docs "provided evidence that the Jones Day law firm was helping Diebold to cover up the fact that they were installing uncertified software which, as it turns out, caused thousands of voters to be unable to vote just weeks later." Diebold was knowingly defrauding the state of California. Nonetheless, it is Heller who is being prosecuted by the District Attorney, on three felony charges. Diebold and Jones Day have not been charged. In fact, Heller's lawyer believes the 2 year wait to file charges was due to the then-impending 2004 election, and that Diebold and their attorneys didn't want the information to be made public in the lead up to the election.

That makes my blood boil. Just another bombshell with NO COVERAGE in the mainstream "media." Good article, Herb.

Oh they were fixed, all right.
