Well it's obviously a hoax/joke. Nothing in there to indicate it's an ARG though. The Internet is no stranger to weird websites pretending to be real. It could be viral marketing, or maybe a college project. The site itself looks like a template. The message behind this one is: "electronic voting bad".

There's a phone number on there, (800) 807-9147. If there's anything ARGish about this, it will be at the end of that line. Otherwise, nothing to see here.

well. i tried the number and it says to hold for a rep, then it comes back and says to leave a message, so for the heck of it i left a message saying i wanted to be elected president in 08 and gave them an e-mail address and i am waiting to see if they actually send anything

Quick! Somebody check to see if it's registered to Diebold! Before the elections!

Like they said; nothing to say it's an ARG. Interesting, though

all the companies who supply the technology seem legit-

diebold
www.diebold.com

sequoia voting systems
www.sequoiavote.com

ess
www.essvote.com/HTML/global_gateway/home.html

theres even a wikipedia article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diebold_Election_Systems

seems like it might be a satire site criticizing diebold's support of bush, possibly even theorizing that he might have bribed diebold to rig the elections in ohio in 2004? that was the state that came down to the wire.

oh wow. Diebold is acctually named there. I was joking

I know that they won't be pleased when they find out, considering there's already accusations of election fraud.
