A report from PA, where WinVote is widely used, relates that AVS has failed to pay their bill for testing of their newest version of system. The testing lab has stopped testing and will not certify the system until they are paid. AVS is the same vendor who was just warned by the EAC for swapping out the motherboard in the new system without notifying either the test lab or the EAC. That notification is mandatory. If you have not seen the Dan Rather Report on voting issues the full program is now on-line. It is a powerful indictment of the vendors&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Voter Action Calls For A Full Congressional Investigation Of Voting Systems Companies <a href=\"http:\/\/www.voteraction.org\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: DAN RATHER REPORTS VIDEO: The Trouble with Touch Screens <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4960\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: First in the &#8220;Fooled Again&#8221; Series: Interview with Nancy Tobi <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_joan_bru_070814_first_in_the__22fooled.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Sequoia Voting Systems Responsible for 2000 Presidential Debacle? <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wired.com\/27bstroke6\/2007\/08\/sequoia-voting-.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: EAC Issues Voting System Certification Guide <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eac.gov\/news_081507.asp\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: President Urges Effective Election Audits <a href=\"http:\/\/e-voter.blogspot.com\/2007\/08\/president-urges-effective-election.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AZ: Tucson &#8211; Touchscreen Voting Machines Won&#8217;t Be Part of City Elections <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kold.com\/Global\/story.asp?S=6932823\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Alameda County &#8211; State rules risk to early voting<br \/>\nSecurity requirements threaten county&#8217;s advance ballot casting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidebayarea.com\/oaklandtribune\/localnews\/ci_6627931\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Nevada County &#8211; Diaz: All-mail ballot possible<br \/>\nForesees voting machines ready for 2008 primary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theunion.com\/article\/20070815\/NEWS\/108150140\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Siskiyou County &#8211; Voting machine changes mandated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtshastanews.com\/articles\/2007\/08\/15\/news\/01votingmachines.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Sarasota County &#8211; Finally, an election victory<br \/>\nApproval of voting system gives Sarasota County voters a break <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/article\/20070815\/OPINION\/708150477\/1030\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>MS: Natchez &#8211; Malfunction postpones vote certification <a href=\"http:\/\/www.natchezdemocrat.com\/news\/2007\/aug\/15\/malfunction-postpones-vote-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NH: Is it constitutional to outsource the state&#8217;s vote counting?<br \/>\nLawyer objects to optical scan machines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmonitor.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070815\/OPINION\/708150302\/1028\/OPINION02\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Editorial: Push plan on new voting machines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uticaod.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070815\/NEWS05\/708150305\/1013\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OR: Jackson County &#8211; County unveils state-of-the-art voting equipment<br \/>\nIt will take the guesswork out of which pencil to use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mailtribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070815\/NEWS\/708150336\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>PA: Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties &#8211; TV report questions Westmoreland, Allegheny voting machines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pittsburghlive.com\/x\/pittsburghtrib\/news\/election\/s_522254.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>PA: Northampton County &#8211; Electronic voting machines might be out for some Nov. races <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennlive.com\/lehighvalley\/index.ssf\/2007\/08\/electronic_voting_machines_mig.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>WV: Kanawha County &#8211; More Uncounted Ballots Found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whsv.com\/westvirginiaap\/headlines\/9159341.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>WV: Kanawha County &#8211; Public confidence wavering after more bags of ballots found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.com\/story\/News\/2007081517\/Public-confidence-wavering-after-more-bags-of-ballots-found\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Philippines: &#8216;Defective&#8217; machine supplier in U.S. also figured in past ARMM polls <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcij.org\/blog\/?p=1903\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>**&#8221;Daily Voting News&#8221; is meant as a comprehensive listing of reports each day concerning issues related to election and voting news around the country regardless of quality or political slant.
