Re: NYT - Fear of Fraud

["Joe Pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe I heard that Colorado Secretary of State Donetta Davidson 
awarded a no-bid contract to Accenture to manage our "ePollbook" system 
here in our state.

And of course, we know how vigorously she prosecutes misdeeds in 
elections, like using uncertified software.

Isn't Accenture also the accounting company formerly known as Arthur 
Anderson, the ones who did such a good job counting the details over at 
Enron?

Accenture is their new name, right? Since they reorganized as an 
off-shore company in Bermuda or someplace to escape paying US taxes?

Who will be held accountable for all this?

Nobody?
