'Daily Voting News' For March 18, 2008

 

Sequoia Voting seems to be very concerned that scientists in New Jersey might actually discover the truth about Sequoia’s implausible explanations for the recently discovered problems with their Advantage voting machines. Of course Sequoia has blamed poll workers in a scenario that makes no sense at all. Unless the state Attorney General, Ann Milgram, demands that an independent investigation take place, it won’t happen. Why? Sequoia seems to have sent threatening letters to concerned New Jersey counties and to the Princeton computer scientists who were to inspect the machines. Sequoia claims to have hired local counsel and threatens legal action if any inspection, or even report of the behavior of their software, takes place. Unfortunately the counties have decided to back down for the time being. Phone calls and/or email to the Attorney General may help to convince her that action must be taken: http://www.nj.gov/lps/contactus.htm
