Ohio’s Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, has announced a plan to hire a firm to determine whether her state’s voting machines work, are secure, and can function under heavy volume. This is pretty much the same thing being done in California. Why don’t the two states join forces and save the taxpayer some money by sharing the costs? Also, in a decision that I’m sure pleased Sen. Diane Feinstein and other protectors of corporate secrets over voters, an appellate court in Florida found that Christine Jennings has no right to examine programming source code that ran the machines that undervoted in her race last Nov.
