My guess would be that powerful behind-the-scenes forces DO NOT want a stable, reliable, and secure voting machine. They like the corruption just the way it is.
Occam's razor. What's more likely, a vast national conspiracy that somehow remains secret, or simple imcompetence?
And not just Diebold's incompetence. The incompetence of the legislators who legislate electronic voting machines without setting some basic standards. Also the incompetence of county election officials who buy these machines en masse without testing them.
Do you honestly think all these screwups could pull off a huge secret conspiracy?

Good question Bill.
