Diebold Settles California Lawsuit
Diebold and the State of California have reached a settlement in the suit brought by the state against the e-voting vendor, according to an AP story. Diebold has agreed to pay the state $2.6 million, to reimburse California counties for the cost of using paper ballots rather than insecure Diebold systems in the recent election, and to make security improvements to its systems.
Settling the case allows Diebold to avoid further discovery, which probably would have revealed facts putting the company and its products in a bad light.
