<\/a>From Alabama comes a report that ES&S had an internal communications problem and they provide the optical scan machines used in Belforest in their elections. “The company delivered “data packs” — the electronic devices in which the voters’ selections are stored — programmed for absentee voting, causing the two machines to reject the ballots, Johns said. The situation did not affect the voting, as voters filled out their ballots and slipped them in an emergency bin used for occasions such as this one, he said.” Imagine if that had been DREs instead of optical-scan. Just why is there an IrDA port on those Diebold machines? Just a reminder, that this will be the last Daily Voting News until next Tuesday evening. I will be off line until then. Have a great weekend….<\/p>\n
