Diebold Rebrands What No One Wants

Irvu writes "Diebold has apparently failed in their bid to sell their tainted elections systems unit. Unable to find a buyer the CEO of Diebold promised that the system will be run more 'openly and independently.' To prove that they are serious, they renamed it. Diebold Election Systems is now Premiere Election Solutions. They still sell GEMS, AccuVote OS and the ever-unpopular AccuVote-TSX which performed so disastrously in California's Top-to-Bottom Review under the same names. Apparently their rebranding effort only goes so far."

Have to go by the track record

They have consistently tried to do the wrong thing at every turn. It is like Bill Clinton, if he had just messed up once or twice with women, it wouldn't have been a huge deal, but he did it over and over and over again. So it is pretty clear he wasn't going to change his ways.

Also, after Gator software rebranded, I didn't rush out to install bonsaiBuddy...just look at their track record. Claria or not, I'm not touching anything they put out regardless of the name.

"slashdotliberalwhining" has to be the best tag on the site. I propose renaming the "politics" section to this.
