A
very busy day today. There are still articles about the
EVEREST report completed in the state of Ohio. Based on
that report, recommendations were made to Cuyahoga County
to change their voting system and vendor from DREs by
Premier to central-count optical scan by ES&S. It appears
that the county is going to do the correct thing and not
make any rash decisions. They should probably make some
changes but not a wholesale change of vendors and certainly
not when that vendor is ES&S. A final decision will be made
later this week.
This afternoon the state of Colorado
announced that they were decertifying all voting machines
and peripherals from ES&S as well as the Sequoia Edge II
and Edge II Plus and optical scan systems provided by Hart
Intercivic. Voting systems from Premier, optical scan and
peripherals from Sequoia and DREs and peripherals from Hart
were conditionally certified.
Also two amicus briefs
were filed today in the NY v. DOJ case....
