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).
