Fulton and Clayton Counties, Georgia
have decided that they will have enough time at the polls
for all voters who want to vote to do that. They both
decided not to ask the state, before-hand, to allow them to
keep the polls open longer than normally allowed. Wouldn’t
it have been better to ask to keep them open longer and have
no one waiting on line than to force people to wait on line
so you can close at the normal time? Of course, both
counties have said they can handle the crowds because they
have enough machines. They ignore, again, that the
bottle-neck has been and will be the voter check-in
procedure and their overly slow computer system. In other
states it may be the ballot-on-demand system for
optical-scan ballots.
In another great article from Kim
Zetter and the WiredBlog, Threat Level, she reports on
‘vote-flipping’ and the ES&S voting machines.
Also
from Kim is the news that one Michigan election official
warned the EAC over a week ago that ES&S M-100 optical-scan
machines used in her county don’t consistently tally
ballots. These machines are used all across the
country....
