BenDor, a Pittsfield Township Michigan deputy clerk, is so
concerned about the Diebold machines used in her township
that she filed a formal complaint with the Washtenaw County
Election Commission on Monday. Ten percent of machines
failed in a recent test, she claimed. She also cited changes
Diebold made to the machines, including installing modems,
without providing written documentation of the work. "I'm a
voice in the wilderness," she admitted, saying that some
have accused her of paranoia. "I'm more concerned about
normaloia than paranoia. That's when you think everything is
OK, no matter what." / Washington Co. Arkansas has decided
to put ES&S out the county's ballot programming business.
They will buy their own equipment and do the job themselves.
/ Ohio is holding special elections in 27 counties,
including Cuyahoga, on Tuesday....
Voters with disabilities are being unfairly used in the
recommended denial of certification of the Vote-PAD by the
SoS of California. It's unfortunate that an unfair test
procedure was used in testing. Why were no other systems
purporting to be accessible sent through comparable testing?
/ Tennessee is shaking off their primary night failures
while other states prepare to enter the fray tomorrow. /
Primaries tomorrow in Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, and
Missouri, with a run-off in Georgia and local elections in
Ohio. ...
