Diebold gets rid of controversial e-voting machine unit
ComputerWorld
Diebold Inc. has sold its U.S. election systems subsidiary, Premier Election Solutions, to Election Systems & Software Inc. (ES&S) of Omaha, Neb. Diebold entered the U.S. election systems business in January 2002 via its purchase of Global Election Systems Inc., a unit that was later renamed Diebold Election Systems. That name, in turn, was changed to Premier two years ago, when Diebold decided to set up the company as an independent unit.
