In an excellent article posted at OpEdNews, Andi Novick has this to say, ““Comply with the law, or take your business elsewhere” is an excellent response to a vendor who essentially said to New York - take my business on my terms or we vendors may not want to do business with you, New York. After choosing to ignore New York’s 2005 law requiring voting vendors to place the source coding for the software that runs their voting systems into escrow with the State Board of Elections (SBOE), Avante has the gall to make this disingenuous argument in which it purports to blame New York for Avante’s refusal to comport with our Law.” And from the PhillyBurbs blog comes the following, “There’s movement on the electronic voting front. Unfortunately, it’s in the wrong direction. H.R. 811, Rep. Rush Holt’s (NJ-12) bill is a darling of the any-legislation-is-better-than-no-legislation crowd. Apparently they haven’t learned the lessons of Medicare Part D, NAFTA, CAFTA and No Child Left Behind. H.R. 811 may have come from a good idea, but the bill has been so weighed down with dangerous changes that at this point, it will do more harm than good if passed.”
