Election
officials in three Colorado counties claim that they can
catch all of the stray marks on ballots. Those stray marks
may be read as votes by their Hart Intercivic eScan voting
machines. Those claims don’t seem to carry any water when
you consider that some of the marks that were read by the
machines instead of the actual vote were just dots where a
voter may have rested their pen.
On the heels of reports
of serious problems with Sequoia Advantage voting machines
used in New Jersey the state Attorney General has announced
that there is no way they can have voter verified paper
audit trail (vvpat) printers for those machines by the
November election. Of course, some would have you believe
that the inclusion of a vvpat printer would mitigate the
problems reported yesterday. No vvpat printer on those
machines would have made any difference with the internal
memory and voters do not verify their ballot using that
printer. The only savior would be to replace the machines
with a paper ballot voting system....
