Daily Voting news For August 27,
2007
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
As
reported by Kim Zetter in her Wired Blog and yours truly on
OpEdNews, ES&S has responded to the EAC’s rebuke for not
disclosing that they were manufacturing voting machines in
Manila, The Philippines. ES&S arrogantly acted like a
spoiled child in their response to the EAC. In the end they
provided a list that included factories in Manila, Taiwan
and China, but not before trying to blame the EAC for their
corporate reporting failures. Have you ever noticed that
these vendors take no ownership of any problems?
Vote-flipping is always the voters fault. Machine failure
is always the poll workers fault....
