go Brách! In testimony before the Committee on House
Administration last week, EAC Commissioner Caroline Hunter
testified that there were no EAC certified voting systems
at this time and that there would be none used in the
election in November. The certification process should not
become what it was under NASED where they qualified all of
the garbage that is presently being used. The long process
for certifying voting systems will surely become shorter as
the labs and the EAC’s representatives get experience.
Unfortunately the long process will surely affect the
voters in New Jersey. The state legislature mandated a
vvpat printer be added to the Sequoia Advantage machines
used by the state by January 2007. The Attorney General has
now moved the deadline for the printers twice with support
from the legislature and is now asking that it be moved
again until after November. Perhaps it is time for the
courts and the legislature to step in and take action to
get rid of those machines and force the Attorney General to
accept paper ballots for November and beyond....
