It has been reported that the Diebold company has sold its US voting machine division to a rival-Election Systems & Software. The NY Times says "...Congress, the states and cities need to push a lot harder for fundamental reforms in the voting machine business...". I just don't understand how a democracy could hand over to a private company the responsibility of running and reporting on the results of an election. Who owns these companies, who are they contributing campaign dollars to, and what are their politics?
