RE: [election-services] ESS acquires Premier

Joe,

Our TC manages to get the world exclusive scoop here! ; -)

I guess looking for car analogies - this is like Ford buying GM for the voting world?!?!

What will new models look like, and who is still selling the spare parts...

Thanks, DW

Hi, Peter Z. was not kidding when he said his company had a big

announcement today!  ES&S has apparently acquired Premier Election

Solutions, Inc.  That's a pretty big move for the US voting systems

market.  I haven't seen anything public on it yet (my source is an

election official).
