Daily Voting News For April 7, 2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
Lackawanna Co Pennsylvania is leasing 85 old, no longer usable, Advanced Voting Solutions DREs to Elections USA Inc.
EUSAInc is the company made up of ex-AVS officials that has taken over the AVS contracts. Now they claim they are going
to use the machines to develop an electronic poll book. Who is this poll book being developed for? AVS is no longer in
business and their machines are only used in very few jurisdictions. Why does EUSAInc. need 85 machines? Just two
questions to ask an industry that has been involved in questionable dealings for years....
