Daily Voting News For October 28, 2007

The Colorado SoS has issued a letter to ES to inform them that state certification testing of their voting machines has been suspended due to a lack of concern
and inaction taken by the vendor. In that letter the Secretary accused the vendor of “changing project managers multiple
times since April, providing incorrect programming of required databases for testing, providing incorrect ballots for
testing, failing to provide required documentation of Federal testing, and test failures requiring extensive machine
servicing”. Meanwhile election officials in Mesa Co Colorado have decided that they will just ignore what is happening
at the state level and they are going to buy more machines from ES for another $500,000. What are these people thinking? Where is the outrage from the citizens whose money is being
wasted by these same election officials? Rather than buy more products from this company that is arrogant beyond belief
they should be taking ES to court to get back the original $2.7M they spent....
