Here's more on the Diebold flap from Wired:

SACRAMENTO, California -- Diebold Election Systems President Bob Urosevich was forced to defend his company's business practices Wednesday at a contentious meeting in Sacramento before California's Voting Systems Panel that may result in the company's machines being barred from the state.


Faced with tough questions from VSP election officials in the first day of a long-awaited, two-day hearing on an investigation of the company, Urosevich, accompanied by a defense lawyer and a public relations consultant hired specifically to see the company through its California crisis, worked hard to convince the panel that the company has reformed its ways and can be trusted to conduct elections in the state.
