One of my correspondents, who is also a diarist on Kos, has stumbled across an online cache of internal emails from Global Elections Systems, which became part of Diebold.
It's quite clear from this internal email that Global Election Systems knew that their machines dropped votes, and looked the other way.Check it out for yourselves here. The story, alas, is not told in a linear, easily-comprehensible fashion. You may want to download the links before they go away.

Joseph, thanks for getting the word out on this - I'll email you if I find any more good stuff.
For those who have not researched this, an internal email from Global Election Systems (now part of Diebold) from 11/99 proves that they knew the machines "dropped votes," and they didn't do anything about it, except sometimes "send the voter on their ignorantly blissful way."
This email proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that these people couldn't care less about the fundamental right of all Americans to vote, and have their vote counted. This email also implies, in my opinion, something far more sinister - if machines have a default setting, the "ignorantly blissful" voter, whose actual vote did not count, might have casted a vote for the default setting - in other words, for whoever is set up as the default. Is there any doubt who was the default setting last month?
This email, and thus the pathway to the entire set of Diebold/GEMS internal emails, can be found here:

Thanks again Joseph, for your continuing efforts to inform people of "the truth."
