Yesterday the key word was “decision”. Today I will continue with that word. Has a ‘decision’ been made with respect to HR-811? Time will only tell. Information is the grist that is fed into the mill to become a ‘decision’. New York now has more information on the vendors so they can make a ‘decision’ on their voting system ion. Another Pennsylvania county has to decide how they are going to pay for a maintenance contract for the ES&S voting machines. Maybe it’s time the counties decide it’s time to kick ES&S out of the state. Oklahoma did it years ago and, you know, there is very little news about voting machine failures in Oklahoma reported in DVN.
