Just
in late this afternoon, a
typical-bad-news-on-a-late-Friday-after-the-news-week-is-complete,
is the news that Secretary of State Brunner has ignored the
statements of every person who spoke before the Cuyahoga
County Board of Elections. She has decided that the county
must change voting systems and voting system vendors before
the primary election which is March 4 with early voting
beginning in a little over a month. ES&S will be given the
contract.
Two more states have begun to look at the
results of testing of voting systems and they are answering
questions of the media. In both cases, Nevada and Louisiana
election officials told the same story. Yes, they use the
same machines and the machines have the same problems BUT
they have administrative methods that make the findings
from Ohio and Colorado inconsequential. Of course, both
states have the same, or nearly the same, administrative
methods as both Ohio and Colorado and the methods described
in the media would not have any impact on the insecure,
inaccurate and inaccessible voting systems in use.
Speaking of inaccessibility of voting systems; why has no
one yet stood-up and reminded these states that their
reports say the machines do not meet HAVA requirements? Why
is this being ignored? ...
