Diebold Sues Massachusetts for Not Winning a Contract

From the sore losers department we get Diebold Election Systems, which is taking Massachusetts to court because the state chose a competitor's products. The Boston Globe article quotes a lawyer representing Diebold:

"We compete against AutoMARK around the country all the time," Weisberg said. "Based on the criteria set out by the Commonwealth, we had a fair degree of confidence we'd come out on top, and nothing we heard during the process dissuaded us of that confidence."

I understand that should the court not agree, Diebold will escalate the challenge, sending its CEO to sit in the office of the governor and hold his breath until he turns blue.
