Happy
Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy the holiday with family and
friends.
Advanced Voting Solutions (AVS) which has sold
voting machines in three Pennsylvania counties and much of
the state of Virginia has finally been notified that if
they do not tell the Election Assistance Commission (EAC)
their plans for their voting system modifications by next
Tuesday they will have all certification testing cancelled
by order of the EAC. The modification was to the machines
as they are used in PA so it probably won’t affect the
Virginia counties. However, at least one of the PA
counties, Northampton, has warned the vendor that they will
be taking them to court for breach of contract among other
charges. Perhaps the other two PA counties will join in
this action now that it appears they will be left holding
millions of dollars worth of worthless voting machines that
have only been used in three elections. This is a clear
indication, when teamed with lawsuits against ES&S announced
by the state of California and the city of San Francisco
that the tables may finally be turning against the
arrogance and deceptive practices of the vendors.
