Today was a day for
court decisions. Finally a judge in New Jersey has released
the Princeton University report on the state’s Sequoia
Voting Machines. Earlier Sequoia had released their response
to the report. After the recent failures of their voting
systems in Palm Beach Co. Florida and Washington DC Sequoia
must be very concerned about this report and what it
contains. One item of note is that the inspection and
resulting report was the result of an election problem that
called into question the accuracy of the Sequoia Advantage
voting system. The cause of that failure is discussed in the
Princeton report but that section of the report is one of
the only sections that Sequoia ignores.
Also this
morning the Supreme Court sided with the voters of Ohio and
freed the Secretary of State and county election officials
from a ruling by a lower court that would have caused as
many as 200,000 voters to lose their right to vote in this
election....
