Diebold strongly refutes the existence of any "back doors" or "hidden codes" 
in its GEMS software.  These inaccurate allegations appear to stem from those 
not familiar with the product, misunderstanding the purpose of legitimate 
structures in the database.  These structures are well documented and have 
been reviewed (including at a source code level) by independent testing 
authorities as required by federal election regulations.

Heh.  If the above URL indicates the competence level of Diebold, be
very afraid.  Note the prominent photo of a Sun server with the text
touting Microsoft Windows.
