Wondering about mail-in voting? Diebold's new VoteRemote

BlackBoxVoting.org - 7-25-2005

Top secret documents obtained by Black Box Voting -- As state after state has passed cookie-cutter mail-in voting legislation, here's what's been flying under the radar: Diebold's new Vote Remote Suite.

As we add more to this, you'll see that components of VoteRemote are already in use, as shown by accounting entries with completed billings for VoteRemote services.

More on Vote Remote in future reports.
