Machines get vote of no confidence after errors in primary (NJ) Story Here Archive |
Published:Wednesday, February 20, 2008 DIANE C. WALSH The Star-Ledger 20 February 2008 As Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi tried to verify returns in this month's
historic presidential primary, she kept coming up with errors for a handful of
voting machines. The numbers from the cartridges that print out vote tallies and
the paper-tape backup within the machine didn't match. Rajoppi asked her
colleagues in other counties to perform the same test, and similar problems were
found in voting machines for Bergen, Gloucester, Middlesex and Ocean
counties.

machine testing board, the ballot scanning machines from Hart InterCivic
continue to suffer from the same problems that led them to be decertified last

votes, even if they are just the tiny dots from somebody resting a pen on the
ballot before marking a box, according to the reports.

'Bubble' least of poll workers' troubles (CA) Story Here Archive |
Kitty Felde Pasadena Star-News 12 February 2008 "The bubble" is the voting controversy du jour. Many "Decline to State" voters
declined to ink in a little circle on their ballot that told the county's
election machine to count their votes in the Feb. 5 Democratic presidential
primary. Apparently many pollworkers declined to inform these voters that they
had to fill in the "Democrat" bubble. But I've got news for you. That was only
one of a host of things that went wrong last week. I know. I was a pollworker.
And I was responsible for some of those mistakes myself.
