Walden "Wally" O'Dell was chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Diebold, a US-based security and financial products company. He was an active fundraiser for George W. Bush's re-election campaign and wrote in a fund-raising letter dated August 13, 2003, that he was committed "to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President."〔 According to BBC News, "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." ((on-line text, 15 August 2007 ))〕 His involvement with the campaign raised concerns that, as the CEO of the largest manufacturer of electronic voting equipment, he would have been in a position to attempt to manipulate the results of the presidential election of 2004. In December 2005, O'Dell left the company amid a United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation into insider trading at the company. O'Dell holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in electrical engineering from Saint Louis University, and an M.B.A. from Stanford University. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.trustees.osu.edu/membership/former-trustees/walden-w.-odell-2012.html )〕 ==See also== * 2004 United States election voting controversies * Hacking Democracy 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walden O'Dell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
