Regular readers of DailyKos do not need a reminder of the nefarious role Diebold has played in undermining our democracy.
The latest news is that on Monday, February 13, a key motion in a class action securities fraud case is going to be filed against Diebold and some of its officers and directors in the Northern District of Ohio. The complaint alleges that defendants violated securities laws, causing artificial inflation of the Diebold's stock price. According to the complaint, Diebold "lacked a credible state of internal controls and corporate compliance and remained unable to assure the quality and working order of its voting machine products." Also alleged are false and misleading statements about internal company problems, and over $2.7 million in insider trading proceeds.
