Diebold wins again

Since there's nothing in the rules for the Business Idiocy of the Week award that prevents repeat winning, it once again goes to Diebold, maker of fine dubious electronic voting machines. Following their first victory, this enterprise maintained winning ways in the quest for this coveted award by peddling unaudited software in California, thus coming to the edge of losing sales rights in the most lucrative state. Further, they were caught red-handed planning to pad prices on paper output features, for those jurisdictions already locked into their products but deciding they might just want an audit trail. Well done!
