A
recent study by Missourians for Honest Elections, of St.
Louis County call center sheets and maintenance logs filed
by election board technicians at the polls last Feb. 5,
revealed interesting data. 181 problems were reported and
of those reports 89 (essentially 50% of the problems)
involved the voting machine voter verified paper audit trail
printers. The problems ranged from 36 votes not appearing at
all on the paper trail to failure to print, loose cables,
jammed paper and “printer error”. We want to save DREs
by installing a vvpat printer; Why?
Mesa Co Colorado
election officials were prepared to defy any orders from
the state to not use their iVotronic voting machines in Nov.
In fact, while the machines were decertified by the state
the county purchased 130 more of the DREs. Now the county
is hat-in-hand in front of the county commission asking for
a whopping $5,759 per month for storage for those 130 new
machines. If they were using optical-scan they would not
need the extra storage and could probably cut down on the
amount of storage they were using. It takes far less room to
store one optical scan machine per polling place than it
does all of the DREs needed to serve the county’s polling
places....
