ESS has said that they passed brand new requirements for all voting machines very shortly before they ran these tests. I bet it's only on those new requirements that the voting machines had any problems. Many of the counties have said that it is impossible for them to replace the machines before the next election, so they're going to just go ahead and use them. <br><br>I have to wonder if this current Colorado administration isn't just trying to leverage their newfound power to ensure their future victories as well.<br><br>The ESS systems we use here have tons of redundancy features, including voter verifiable paper ballots that are stored in the machine. I can't see why they've been decertified just a couple of months before the primaries. Couldn't they have done this far enough in advance that they could have addressed the issues before the next vote?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kazriko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 21st 2007 2:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Colorado voting machines don't make the grade]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/colorado-voting-machines-dont-make-the-grade/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/20/colorado-voting-machines-dont-make-the-grade/</guid><description><![CDATA[The chad problem is not a problem of paper voting <br>the chad problem is a result of an idiotic mixed solution.<br><br>You want a good system<br><br>the only thing the computer should do is print a ballot paper marked with the candiate you choose(that is until you introduce prefs and bin that electoral college) then you go stick that in a ballot box which is the real vote<br><br>the computer means nothing<br>the ballot paper is everything<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tacticus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 23rd 2007 11:53AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
