Voter Group Sues To Block Diebold's Latest Miraculous Recovery

After first refusing to certify Diebold voting machines, California's Secretary of State later re-certified the machines, quietly releasing that info late on a Friday afternoon last month, and going against his own "strict rules" he put in place for Diebold machines to be re-certified.

However, a voters group is now suing in California to overturn the "certification" and stop Diebold machines from getting used until they're actually secure.
