Diebold Case Thrown Out

Update: For the newspaper story on the Diebold suit, click here.

For those who haven't been following, I'm updating this post.

The judge in the case brought by Diebold Election Systems against the state dismissed the suit.

Diebold had asked that the court clarified what the law meant.

The judge, in essence, said that the law was pretty clear and that without some sort of ongoing controversy (someone getting arrested or sued for damages) there wasn't anything for him to rule on anyway.

Diebold's lawyers said they expected their clients to withdraw from the state contracting process as a result of the decision.

More on this in tomorrow's paper.
