There are still problems being reported from Arkansas and there probably will be a lot for the foreseeable future as they begin early voting again next Tuesday. To be fair, there is no way most of the counties in the state could have gotten complete with their primary last week and then get the ballot-programming done to support another election this week. It is a little confusing, however, as to how they mailed ballots to military voters already. Or do they just ignore the overseas and military voters? It’s something to think about on this Memorial Day Weekend….

I have been to two MoveOn house parties recently where a National Campaign for Electoral Reform has risen to the top of polls taken to determine what three bold new ideas MoveOn should work on in the next three years.
Thank you for all you have done and are doing..!

Sequoia says this about their election machine:
"The firmware that operates each standalone voting unit is proprietary and designed specifically for elections. Its closed system provides reliable security and allows no external access to the embedded programming" (link here, pdf page 3).
This tells me that the operating system is proprietary and is embedded in firmware. The machines have no hard drives.
At first blush this looks like a better system than the Diebold system which has a Windows CE operating system and is quite hackable.
