Ananda goes on to relate problems discovered with voting machines once they get to the counties, after SBOE testing.

It seems that Sequoia knows all about this defect but has neglected to mention it to the counties. Ananda goes on to compare the &#8220;crap&#8221;\u009d with the lever voting machines the state&#8217;s voters have used for decades. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Featured Article: New York &#8211; NY Loves Its Levers as New Systems Fail<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/1\/NY-Loves-Its-Levers-as-New-by-Rady-Ananda-080701-173.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/1\/NY-Loves-Its-Levers-as-New-by-Rady-Ananda-080701-173.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AK: Security measures implemented by state division of elections<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peninsulaclarion.com\/stories\/070108\/new_257592683.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.peninsulaclarion.com\/stories\/070108\/new_257592683.shtml<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AZ: Pima County &#8211; County OKs voting security measures opposed by Az official<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tucsoncitizen.com\/daily\/local\/89828.php\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.tucsoncitizen.com\/daily\/local\/89828.php<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CT: State officials protest ban on voter registration at VA facilities<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhregister.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=19817378&#038;BRD=1281&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=635049&#038;rfi=6\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.nhregister.com\/site\/news.cfm?newsid=19817378&#038;BRD=1281&#038;PAG=461&#038;dept_id=635049&#038;rfi=6<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: New voting system for Indian River, Martin counties fails first test<br \/>\nEquipment set to be used in August elections didn&#8217;t count 15 percent of Palm Beach ballots<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tcpalm.com\/news\/2008\/jul\/01\/30gtnew-voting-system-fails-test\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.tcpalm.com\/news\/2008\/jul\/01\/30gtnew-voting-system-fails-test\/<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>TX: Opinion &#8211; Greg Abbott: Attorney general&#8217;s office working hard to fight vote rigging<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sharedcontent\/dws\/dn\/opinion\/viewpoints\/stories\/DN-abbott_01edi.ART.State.Edition1.4d437a7.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sharedcontent\/dws\/dn\/opinion\/viewpoints\/stories\/DN-abbott_01edi.ART.State.Edition1.4d437a7.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>UT: Counties can enlist help to boost voter confidence<br \/>\nStudy says recruiting new, local poll workers increases turnout<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/deseretnews.com\/article\/1,5143,700239455,00.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/deseretnews.com\/article\/1,5143,700239455,00.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\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.
