So Diebold Systems finds itself

So Diebold Systems finds itself in the hot seat, and it looks like California is going to stop using a bunch of their voting machines. (I've switched to the permanent absentee ballot, myself.) I found this article in the Tri-Valley Herald fascinating because of its account of a very dramatic and emotional hearing (and by the way, are Diebold's developers and executives on crack?)... but what particularly tickled me was this paragraph:

"You have got to vote them off the island," said Jim March, a Sacramento lobbyist for the right to bear arms and see a paper ballot. March waved an especially harsh state report on Diebold's poor compliance with California election law.

I like the way phrases from reality shows have become part of our lexicon.
