In 2004, after an initial investigation into the company's practices, California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley issued a ban on one model of Diebold voting machines in that state. The Attorney General of California, Bill Lockyer, sued Diebold charging that it had given false information about the security and reliability of Diebold Election Systems machines that were sold to the state. To settle the case, Diebold agreed to pay $2.6 million and to implement certain reforms.
