Message John Gideon
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org Pennsylvania has now decertified all Advanced Voting Solutions voting systems used by three counties. This action followed the EACs cancellation of testing of AVS software. One of the three counties has already announced that they plan on filing suit against AVS for breach of contract. Can this be the end of another vendor?

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has now proposed that two or three counties test her newest plan to use vote centers in Ohio. The test would take place during the March 4 primary. There are now about 40 working days before the primary election. There is seven months between the primary and general election. Why this rush to test out major changes in elections in as short a period as possible? ...
