South Carolina has ES&S iVotronic mania. The iVotronic has a checkered past, and so does the election management system used to program it. It is the ES&S iVotronic, like the system used throughout the state of South Carolina, that lost 18,000 votes in Sarasota County Florida.
It is the ES&S iVotronic that caused so many inexplicable problems in Arkansas recently. (In one impossible result, the machines gave a candidate's votes to an entirely different race!).
It is the ES&S iVotronics that produced vote-flipping and mismatched results in West Virginia. We've set up a new area to track problems by vendor: For an overview of the NEW iVotronic problems as they roll in, along with user manuals and technical guides for these machines, click here:

ES&S iVotronics also had a meltdown in Horry County, SC during the January 2008 primary.
VIRGINIA
Virginia uses a hodge-podge of different machines, some of them banned in other states, like the Unilect Patriot. Virginia also uses the Advanced Voting Solutions WinVote machines, booted out of Northampton County Pennsylvania for various infractions. You will also find iVotronics in Virginia, as well as the Sequoia AVC (which is being investigated for various impossible results in New Jersey), and the Diebold/Premier voting systems like those hacked by the Princeton team of scientists.
NORTH DAKOTA
North Dakota uses ES&S M100 optical scan machines in every county. North Dakota does not require voters to register in order to vote.
