Rage against the machine

Diebold struggles to bounce back from the controversy surrounding its voting machines

Here's a five-step plan guaranteed to make an obscure company absolutely notorious.

- First get into a business you don't understand, selling to customers who barely understand it either. 
- Then roll out your product without adequate testing. Don't hire enough skilled people. 
- When people notice problems, deny, obfuscate and ignore. 
- Finally, blame your critics when it all blows up in your face.

With missteps like those, it would be hard to succeed in the gumball business. But when your product is the hardware and software of democracy itself, that kind of performance gets you called not just incompetent but evil - an enemy of democracy. And that is what has happened to Diebold Inc. (Charts) of Canton, Ohio, since it got into the elections business in 2001.
