The implications of this published "backdoor" into Diebold systems are fairly staggering.
Typically, when software engineers discover such "backdoors" -- it happens almost weekly with Microsoft operating systems -- the vendor responds immediately, with corrections, patches or new versions.
But this report of a backdoor not only was ignored by the vendor, but it's very existence is apparently being denied.
In other words, a home computer which is in very, very small danger of being taken over remotely (just try finding someone to whom this has actually happened), is considered an urgent matter. But an open door to the country's vote count system is ignored, EVEN when the matter is made public and published (companies are usually advised in advance of the public notice, to give them time to fix the error before it becomes public knowledge, so that potential thieves don't learn of the vulnerability before it's fixed). Even Microsoft -- bad as it -- is fast to fix these vulnerabilities and before they'd made public.
Put this known Diebold backdoor together with still unexplained exit poll results, and what could one reasonably conclude is one possible explanation?
In effect, the gravity of the crime, or the potential crime, prevents it from being seriously considered, much less investigated. "Responsible" people don't raise such issues.
How many more elections have to be "lost" before anyone in the MSM or politics starts looking for the truth?
A "conspiracy theory" is not needed here. The vulnerability is public knowleedge.
