Voting Machine Mess-up Du Jour (Displayed 09/09/04 - 09/10/04)

Palm Beach County, Florida. March 2002. Sequoia. Touch screens froze up, registered incorrect vote. AVC Edge paperless voting machines malfunctioned.*
	Touch screen machines sometimes froze up when voters selected which language to use. Phil Foster from Sequoia Voting Systems said that was a software programming error. Elections Supervisor Theresa LePore also said she heard that some people touched one candidate’s circle on the screen, only to see an X appear by another candidate’s name.

* Human goofs, not machines, drag vote tally into next day. The Palm Beach Post, 14 March 2002.

News stories make it rapidly apparent that
electronic voting is not reliable, accurate, or secure.
Any one who claims otherwise is either ignorant or deceptive.
