The news has not been written yet but I am hearing from
New Jersey that the bill that would have forced the
state’s voters to continue to use Sequoia Advantage DREs
with no paper audit trail was defeated in one house of the
state legislature and the bill in the other house never went
to the floor for a vote. Now the state needs to decide
whether to wait and hope Sequoia can get a vvpat printer
certified or do the right thing and change over to a
paper-based voting system....
