Diebold Rebrands What No One Wants

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rose-by-a-different-name dept.

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."

    So you have a problem with the first amendment and freedom of association!
    What proof is there that he did anything with the Diebold products to change votes, that idea is just the wet dreams of various nut jobs.
    BTW the main news article you saw about problems with the e-voting fiasco during the election were not caused by Diebold but by companies that had members of the Democrate party on thier boards. Spend a few mins on google and you can look that up.
