A Maryland court has found the state’s ‘early voting’ provision to be illegal and one candidate has been removed from the ballot. This will probably require new ballots to be printed and reprogramming and re-testing of the state’s DREs in order to be ready for the Sept. 12 primary. It also means that overseas and military voters will again have problems. / Why is Sequoia being asked for an estimate to do a state-wide recount in Nevada? They quoted $175,000 for their part in doing that recount. What work do they have to do? The state is supposed to have a VVPAT. This large charge is, in part, forcing the candidate to challenge the election in court rather than ask for a recount. Just who is conducting elections in Nevada?…

Thank you for staying on the blackbox voting continuing scandals.
Very discouraged about what was done to Cynthia McKinney. Is she going to join the lawsuit by other officials cheated by BBV?
More info please on the NV situation.
Very disconcerting!
New York State will soon make the final decision of which is the best electronic voting system to select,..optical scan or DRE systems. The Brennan Center is involved in doing a study where there are indications the DRE system “looses” many votes because the public finds the machines more confusing/difficult to use. The DRE vendors are busy lobbying election officials to spend their federal monies on their systems.
Look at this foolish statement,.. essentially saying paper ballots are a danger to our forests and trees,..
However, support for the optical-scan ballots is by no means assured. Although optical-scan advocates say their systems are more cost-effective, proponents of direct-recording electronic system say the electronic machines do not waste paper and are easier for disabled people to use.
Be Green,.. save a tree,.. endorse paperless faith based voting,.. absent any opportunity for an audited recount,..
SAVE A FOREST,.. TRASH DEMOCRACY.
