Liberty
voting systems is not able to take NO! for an answer.
Liberty is the company that sold hundreds of thousands of
Euros worth of voting machines to Ireland only so those
machines could be found to be insecure and to have them
stored since delivery in warehouses across the country; and
the company whose voting machines have been banned in its
home country of Holland. Last week the New York State Board
of Elections chose not to allow the use of any DRE voting
machines for persons with disabilities thus leaving Liberty
with no where to sell their machines. Yesterday Liberty
decided they would ignore the decision and turn to the
courts so they filed a temporary restraining order in an
attempt to get the courts to change the decision made by the
state. Last night the court found against the company and
refused to issue an immediate restraining order. A further
proceeding will now take place on Thursday. The utter gall
of this company that sells voting machines that can’t be
used in its home country and that are gathering dust in
Ireland is amazing.
There will be a report, in this
space, on the Florida primary tomorrow....
