‘Daily Voting News’ For December 18, 2006

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

If there was ever any reluctance to point a finger at Sequoia Voting for the disenfranchisement of thousands of voters in Denver Colorado last month then the time to admit the failure is now. A recently released by city-officials 32-page report found enough blame for county and state officials but pointed the finger squarely at Sequoia. The report blasted Sequoia for “decidedly subprofessional architecture and construction” work on the ePollBook software. “The ePollBook is a poorly designed and fundamentally flawed application that demonstrates little familiarity with basic tenets of Web development,” consultants Fred Hessler and Matt Smith wrote. Is there any reason at all to believe that their voting machine software is any better?…

      I know you are dedicated to plugging away at this problem, but it sure seems like there is knuckle dragging. Seems like this problem should have been fixed already.

      I guess if it hasn’t been fixed your corrupt officials are responsible.

      I KNOW YOU CAN NOT PROTEST IN THE STREET ANYMORE!
      ANYONE OUT THERE FREEWAY BLOGGING YET?!

      “Basic Tenents of web development”, give me a fucking break.

      I guess you folks are going to have to have a Colorado Style Alamo pretty soon, if you want to make your point.

      Fuck these motherfuckers, This pisses me off (I live in California) but I am so fuckin sick of this electonic this, electonic that , insecure, security breach, failure, database stolen. One of these days, some bastard is going to tell me how good this electronic shit is face to face, they’re going to look at me, and call security. Cause they know I am right, and they are little fucking chicken shit.

      I just about suggested doing something illegal.
      That’s literally where I am at now.
      Just kill me. I rather listen from my grave.
      I am getting sick of this fight.

      I worked as a technician. I know.
