DIEBOLD TO DUMP EVOTING?

Haha! Finally, Diebold is working it out: their Evoting machine business is nothing but trouble. Now, rumor has it, they are going to quit it. Endgadget.com blogs on the situation in a March 4, 2007 post (available here: http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/04/diebold-considering-dumping-e-voting-unit-engadget-says-please/) by explaining:

Apparently executives high up at Diebold, the company that brought untold amounts of frustration to voters and countless faulty elections across the US, are considering dumping their Diebold Election Systems business unit, which it seems is almost systematically attempting to tarnish its parent company's brand with its infamous e-voting machines.

The post goes onto explain that Diebold will likely decide for sure later on in 2007 what happens to the DES but the point is that they're realizing that all this trouble may not be worth the effort. We'll hope for the best--that they shut the damn thing down comple! tely and set a great example for other Evoting machine-makers to follow. FINGERS CROSSED!!
