The city of San Francisco filed their lawsuit against ES&S today. The city charges the vendor with a panoply of misdeeds including fraud, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation and multiple violations of California's Elections Code, False Claims Act and Unfair Competition Law. In a press release concerning this lawsuit the City Attorney, Dennis Herrera, had this to say...

This lawsuit is on top of the suit filed yesterday by the state against ES&S for nearly $15M.

Diebold’s memory card failures have happened in Connecticut as well as in Florida. How many more states will have the same problems?
