Where's
Diebold

Diebold, the voting equipment company Utah selected, has
been scamming everyone about the number of its offices
in Utah and around the country. Please help us call
press to ask them to cover this interesting nationwide
story, broken first in Utah.
Diebold sold its voting equipment in Utah in part by
convincing Utah decision-makers that it had "about 20
offices in Utah" and so was a big company with
substantial presence.
However, a local volunteer noticed that only one of
Diebold's Utah office (in Evergreen Business park)
answered its phones and that all the others listed in
the white pages never answered its phones.
See
http://whitepages.com
(type in Diebold as the business and select Utah)
A few days
ago this volunteer drove around to all Diebold's
locations in 3 counties and discovered that of the 18
Utah offices listed in
http://whitepages.com - 16 of the listed Diebold
locations were phoney and the addresses belonged to
either a Walmart or a Sam's Club or no building at all.
When two of the Walmart managers were asked, they said
that Diebold had no office in their store, and did not
even own or maintain the ATM in their store.
When a Diebold representative at Evergreen was asked
several times why all its "locations" listed in the
White pages pointed to Walmarts or Sam's Clubs, he
claimed not to know anything about it, yet he continued
to claim that Diebold had "about 20 locations in Utah"
but he could not give the locations of any of these
alleged office locations.
Since when does a big company keep all of its office
locations a secret, and yet advertise in the white
pages, 16 locations that are phoney?
Please help us by calling the local Utah newspapers and
asking that they report this story on Diebold's scam
that appears to be a nationwide story that we've broken
open here in Utah.
We do not know who owns the phone numbers that Diebold
has listed in the white pages or if Walmart participated
knowingly in this scam or not.
This is a huge breaking story because it appears that
Diebold has used this same scam in other states as well,
where we pull up long lists of Diebold offices in other
states, and some of their addresses match Walmart
addresses.
We could use help from someone who has time to work on
this particular project further, could perhaps drive to
some of the locations during daylight hours to get good
pictures of the "Diebold/Walmart" locations with
building numbers and Walmart/Sam's club signs on them
for us to post on the Internet, and other help because
we do not have time to pursue it further ourselves for
now.
If you have time to help make phone calls or mail some
letters in connection with this Walmart/Diebold scandal
that is most likely nationwide scandal, please email me.
Diebold claims to have 400 offices nationwide according
to its own web site, but seems to neglect to list its
office locations on its own web site.
Is a company which would scam us about the number of
offices it has, the type of company we want counting our
votes with secret proprietary software that can easily
be used to undetectably rig our elections?
Best,
Kathy
