Convicted felons worked for electronic voting companies

SAN FRANCISCO - A manufacturer of electronic voting machines has employed at least five convicted felons as managers, according to critics demanding more stringent background checks for people responsible for voting machine software.

Voter advocate Bev Harris alleged Tuesday that managers of a subsidiary of Diebold Inc., one of the country's largest voting equipment vendors, included a coc aine trafficker, a man who conducted fraudulent stock transactions, and a programmer jailed for falsifying computer records.

I agree with NEO right up until that question mark. So what? One guy was a coc aine trafficer, he's no different than a beer distributor in my eyes. As for the computer programmer guy, that's questionable.. But really, just because someone has a record they can't operate a damn machine?
