As reported here yesterday Sequoia Voting Systems has blamed one or two poll workers in 6 counties for doing something strange at the back of the counties&#8217; Advantage DREs that would cause the correct ballot to be voted yet would report that ballot as being from a different party. And, that incorrect report is only on one of two internal, redundant memories. It all sounds very wrong to me and it&#8217;s probably a good thing this problem may only happen during the primaries when party preference means something. <\/p>\n<p> All but one of Cuyahoga Co Ohio&#8217;s ES&#038;S optical scan machines seem to have tested satisfactorily. <\/p>\n<p> Los Angeles Co election officials owe it to the voters to count every ballot possible. They don&#8217;t seem to understand that simple premise for some reason. <\/p>\n<p> Tuesday will be another busy day though the news from Rhode Island and Vermont will be pretty slim with not a lot to report. However, Texas and Ohio will more than make up for a lack of news from the other two primary states. We look for a busy week next week&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NAtional: Pesky Details with Getting a Voting System Correct<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2762&#038;Itemid=26\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2762&#038;Itemid=26<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: March 4 Snapshot: Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, and Vermont<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2768&#038;Itemid=26\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2768&#038;Itemid=26<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: &#8216;Perceived&#8217; Problems Part of Reason for National Move to Paper Ballots Says USA TODAY<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5755\" target=\"_blank\"><i>https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5755<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: L.A.
