‘Daily Voting News’ For April 27, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org and VoteTrustUSA.Org

Texas ‘ES&S Counties’ will probably be using hand counted paper ballots in the run-off elections on May 13. They have already been given permission to use paper ballots by the state. I highly recommended that people interested in the workings of a small voting technology vendor read the article entitled, “Vote of confidence? Firm has low profile” (link below). The article is an expose on MicroVote and worth the time. New York announced their new voting machine standards today. West Virginia announced that out-dated software has been installed on their iVotronics….

    1. Even tho it has been a winding road, and not planned on, some of these counties may reach election nirvana?

      Hand counts and paper ballots even … that’s good!

      But election officials being forced into it by the ineptness of the electronic voting machine makers … that is bad!

      Digging up the story … good for John and Brad. We are more informed than most of the public thanks to the hard work you guys do.
