Talking about the Election Without Talking Politics

November 7, 2008

For obvious reasons, most corporations naturally shy away from talking about politics on their blogs. Melissa Friemdan of Wells Fargo found a way to talk about this week’s general election without directly talking about politics. Her post talks about how a 150-year old Diebold safe at the company’s History Museum in Minneapolis connects through all that history to the elections of today. That same company that made the safe in the 1850’s (Diebold) is also the same company that checked her vote was accurately tabulated here in 2008.
