Here we are back at work. It appears that the mainstream media are waking up and beginning to do their normal pre-election questioning of voter registration data bases and voting machines. We’ll be keeping our eyes on what is being reported and then passing those articles on to you. Counties across the nation should be getting their paper ballots and ballot programming soon and we will then begin to hear about all of the misprints and incorrect programming. One of the big questions will be how many ES&S customers will end up threatening law suits for failure to provide ballots, software, and memory cards. It is going to be a busy and interesting year right through the elections.
