Diebold Sues Massachusetts for "Wrongful Purchase"

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the better-lawyers-instead-of-better-products dept.

elBart0 writes "Diebold has decided to sue the commonwealth of Massachusetts for choosing a competitor to provide voting machines for the disabled. Diebold wants to force the state to stop using the machines immediately, despite the upcoming municipal elections in many towns. The commonwealth chose the competitor based on an open process that included disabled groups. Diebold executives appeared confused when encountering election officials who made an intelligent choice."

    First, there is no such thing as objective reporting. Everything is biased. Period. Of course; but there's bias and there's bias. Both "the earth is flat" and "the earth is a sphere" are wrong; but most people can see that one is more wrong than the other. Similarly, it's impossible to escape our biases completely, but the BBC (for example) is probably less biased than Fox News.

    You're right of course, clearly a company like vote-rigging Diebold won't see the error of their ways until they get kicked out of court with their tail between their legs, but a few quick messages will at least cause some water-cooler conversation and a bit of laughing behind the backs of the execs who initiated such an inane lawsuit.

    Whoa, you mean this isnt part of a international conspiracy by the illuminati led by Karl Rove to control the world?

    I remember when slashdot was the place to go to get away from the BS. Now its conspiracy theories, biased blurbs, and hand-handed politicizing on the front page.

    BS

    The Dems do not represent the public that installed them, nor do they have any intention of reversing the war agenda.

    Democrats pass "anti-war" bill that funds the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

    I had no trouble grasping the GP's point, but I don't have asperger's syndrome like you.
