Sequoia Voting Systems v. Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell stands as the most notable example of MMM+B's adaptability and ability to address true legal emergencies. With less than eighteen hours remaining before Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell planned to announce that Sequoia Voting Systems' competitors but not Sequoia would be in line to receive $150 Million in state contracts to purchase voting machine, Sequoia Voting Systems retained MMM+B to block the Secretary of State's award because of unfair bidding practices. Coordinating with Sequoia's management team in Hawaii, California and Ireland, MMM+B obtained a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction in the Ohio Court of Claims one hour before the Secretary of State was to announce the award. MMM+B forced Kenneth Blackwell to negotiate with Sequoia Voting Systems and include Seqouia Voting Systems in the bidding process.
