Probe focuses on donation to GOP (Ohio, Diebold)
Columbus - A member of the Franklin County election board said Friday that prosecutors are investigating whether a GOP political consultant tried to bribe the board's director to buy voting equipment made by his client, Diebold Inc.

The director, Matthew Damschroder, has told prosecutors that the consultant, Pat Gallina, came to his office in early 2004, offering him $10,000.

4. This is an important story
If we can prove that Diebold directed the GOP consultant to bribe an official then we may have big grounds to have all of the machines removed. Let's stay informed on this one.
