Diebold sues Massachusetts for buying a competitor's voting machine!

[thewayne]

Could you imagine buying a new car with this logic? You go and look at a Ford, then end up buying a Mazda. And Ford turns around and sues you for not buying their car. Well, a simplification at best.

NH needed new voting machines for disabled voters. They had many criteria, including price. The one from AutoMARK evaluated very well, including using one voting form for disabled or non-disabled voters, so if there was one disabled voter in a precinct they could not be identified.

And Diebold is unhappy that AutoMARK was selected.

More and more I think courts should be able to have a corporate death sentence available. If a corporation is too stupid to live, kill 'em.

Aww, too bad for Diebold. They won't be able to assist in stealing an election.(Or if they weren't stealing it, they don't get to have such poor security that people could conclude an election was stolen.) How sad.
