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."

[Marketing Guy] Let's rebrand.

[CEO] Ok, what do you suggest?

[Marketing Guy] How about "Blossom" ... ? ...

[CEO] I love it. Lets run with that...
