Judge Denies Diebold Request To Stop Massachusetts ES&S Purchase
Marc L. Songini writes on ComputerWorld:
A Massachusetts state judge last week denied a request from Diebold Election Systems to suspend the state’s purchase of electronic voting machines from Election Systems & Software Inc.More here.
Allen, Texas-based Diebold had filed a lawsuit against the commonwealth of Massachusetts on March 15 looking to invalidate the state’s $9 million contract to buy handicapped-accessible AutoMark voting machines made by ES&S.
The lawsuit was filed because the company contends that it meets the contract requirements by offering “the best product and service at the most competitive price,” said a Diebold spokesman.
Diebold’s request for an injunction to block the execution of the contract with Omaha-based ES&S was rejected in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, said a spokesman for Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin.
