I never thought I would be in agreement with a Florida Secretary of State but Kurt Browning was exactly right when he stated, “The interest groups are looking for a system that is 100 percent perfect. I don’t know how many times I have to tell them this: it’s just not going to happen.” The statement was aimed at groups like American Association of People with Disabilities and Miami-Dade Election Reform Coalition and People For The American Way. These groups argue against solutions that will allow the disabilities community and the foreign language community to vote in private and without assistance while preaching that only Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines are the solution.
Yesterday Sen. Dianne Feinstein formally asked the Government Accountability Office to do a “top to bottom investigation” of paperless voting machines with a focus on the machines used in Sarasota….

Who you calling a “dummy front company?”
The upcoming Sarasota sale is not the first time a key player in the saga of Sarasota’s touch screen voting machines has been involved in a scenario in which a major investment in voting machines was written off by frustrated election officials.
One of the key individuals at the heart of the Sarasota election story, Gary Greenhalgh, was involved in such a situation ten years ago in Pennsylvania. Voting machines he sold there were adjudged by election officials and a U.S. District Court to be, alas, defective.
Greenhalgh, a vice president of Election Services & Software, the largest election services company in the country, was responsible for the sale and installation of the electronic touch screen machines in Sarasota County, and perhaps instrumental in much of the rest of Florida as well.
