Premier Election Solutions / Diebold Election Systems
Premier Election Solutions, formerly Diebold Election Systems, was a subsidiary of Diebold, and was their smallest business segment that accounts for 2.4% of its gross revenue. It had entered the business of creating electronic voting terminals and solutions for government entities. Diebold entered this industry in 2001 by purchasing the assets of Global Election Systems which had been selling election equipment since 1991. This subsidiary has been the subject of controversy amid allegations surrounding the security and reliability of some of its products.
In August 2007 DES rebranded itself as Premier Election Solutions. In 2009 it was sold to a competitor, Election Systems & Software.

“Football strategy does not originate in a scrimmage: it is useless to expect solutions in a political compaign.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
