According
to reports from Vigo Co Indiana, where there is a recount
being held for Terre Haute mayor, a court appointed recount
commission is seated to oversee the process. State law,
according to the news report, requires that one of the
three members of that commission be a representative of the
voting system vendor. So ES&S is overseeing the recount of
ballots. It is time the people take back our elections. No
vendor should be allowed to be contracted to take over
counting votes or sitting on commissions that make
decisions in our elections.
Is Cuyahoga Co Ohio being
set-up to fail yet again? That is the question being asked
and answered in a blog from a county voter. Just why is
Brunner suggesting to the county that they totally overhaul
their voting system before the March primary?...
