A North Carolina judge ruled that Diebold may not be protected from criminal prosecution if it fails to disclose the code behind its voting machines as required by law. In response, Diebold has threatened to pull out of North Carolina." From the article: "The dispute centers on the state's requirement that suppliers place in escrow 'all software that is relevant to functionality, setup, configuration, and operation of the voting system,' as well as a list of programmers responsible for creating the software. Diebold lamely claimed that: "The company does not have the right to provide Microsoft's code, he said, adding it would be impossible to provide the names of every programmer who worked on Windows."
So they are refusing to show their code and list of their programmers by claiming they have no right to provide Microsoft code, and list of Microsoft programmers.

As on their threat, I think we can all honestly says:
Hey Diebold, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
