Sequoia
has now been sold, yet again. This time the new owners are
the present management team. Who is really behind the
purchase and what was the final purchase price? Smartmatic
paid $16M for the company which represented a $7M loss for
its previous owner. Also, now that the Venezuelans are not
involved who is going to do all of the ballot
programming?
Is Cuyahoga Co Ohio too big for
Diebold/Premier? That’s a question being asked by the
media and probably some members of the county Board of
Elections.
Poll workers failed to remove the results
cartridges from seven Sequoia Advantage machines in Camden
Co New Jersey. If the votes on those cartridges won’t
affect any races the votes won’t be considered in the
final tally, according to state law. Election officials
wonder why voter turn-out is so low. That’s one
reason.
Counting of ballots in Lackawanna Co Pennsylvania
was much slower than expected either with or because of
Premier/Diebold employees running the optical-scan
machines. Was the hold-up a ploy to make optical-scan
systems look bad and to sell the county DREs?
Lawrence
Co Ohio reports that votes have been flipped due to a
software error by ES&S.
This is it for today. DVN will
be on hiatus until Monday....
