Daily Voting News For November 27, 2007
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Recently we were asked to answer some questions sent to us by someone in Wharton Co Texas concerning vote-switching. In
the Wharton Co situation votes for a GOP candidate were switched on the touchscreen to the Democratic candidate. In
doing a little research I looked at machine malfunctions over the past year with regard to ES Ivotronic DREs and chose Pennsylvania. I was reminded that in Nov. 2006 there were reports from 12 counties that used Ivotronic machines of vote-switching
and in every case the votes were from GOP to Democratic candidates. The inaccurate, unreliable voting systems sold to
state and county election officials were sold simply due to the greed of the vendors. The machines need to be recalled
sooner and not later and replaced by paper ballot supported voting systems....
