I’m
back from a very rewarding trip to Washington DC. The
conference was a combination of Election Reformers of all
types plus elected officials and just interested
citizens.
Today’s DVN is a mixture of today’s news
and some selected from the weekend’s news. Included in
this are three articles from yesterday’s Daytona Beach
News-Journal. When you read these articles ask yourself why
the EAC would refuse to put out a warning. Diebold admits
to the problem. Diebold has also as much as said they
won’t warn other customers. The EAC spokesperson explains
all that the EAC has done but only makes excuses as to why
they feel they can turn their backs on a problem with
25,000 voting machines as if it will just go away. We
should all let Ms. Layson and the EAC know our displeasure
with this “head buried in the sand” attitude.
There
were more ballots counted in East Haven Connecticut than
voters who went to the polls. A hand-recount in a close
mayoral election found a discrepancy between the machine
total and the recount total. The good thing is this is the
first election in which the state has used optical-scan so
they have paper ballots to hand-count.
True to their
ways, ES&S is turning the screws on New Mexico counties in
order to get every tax-payer dollar from them....
