Croustillant :

In August 2003, Walden O’Dell, chief executive of Diebold, announced that he had been a top fund-raiser for President George W. Bush and had sent a get-out-the-funds letter to Ohio Republicans. When assailed by critics for the conflict of interest, he pointed out that the company’s election machines division is run out of Texas by a registered Democrat. Nonetheless, he vowed to lower his political profile lest his personal actions harm the company.

In December 2005, Diebold’s CEO Wally O’Dell resigned following reports that the company was facing securities fraud litigation surrounding charges of insider trading.

In March 2007, it was reported by the Associated Press that Diebold was considering divesting itself of its voting machine subsidiary because it was « widely seen as tarnishing the company’s reputation ».

In August 2007, Wikipedia Scanner found that edits via the company’s IP addresses occurred to Diebold’s Wikipedia article, removing criticisms of the company’s products, references to its CEO’s fund-raising for President Bush and other negative criticism from the Wikipedia page about the company in November 2005.

In October 2005, a person using a Diebold computer removed paragraphs about Walden O’Dell, chief executive of the company, which revealed that he had been « a top fund-raiser » for George Bush. A month later, other paragraphs and links to stories about the alleged rigging of the 2000 election were also removed. The paragraphs and links have since been reinstated. Diebold officials have not responded to requests by the BBC for information about the changes
