The article says that ES&#038;S is contacting all of their jurisdictions. A few phone calls found that none of the iVotronic jurisdictions called knew anything about this problem. Meanwhile a Chicago Alderman has lashed out at Sequoia and his idea that &#8220;at least 15 Venezuelans, who may not have been in the country legally, worked side-by-side with Chicago election officials on primary night March 21, which turned out to be a vote-counting nightmare.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: E-voting critics take message to Washington  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/securitytopics\/security\/story\/0,10801,110331,00.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Campaigns begin on Voting Rights Act.
