Last
month 108 voters went into the voting booth to vote on a
school bond referendum and walked away without voting at
all; or that’s what the county is questioning. The votes
were cast on ES&S iVotronic DREs. The total undervotes was
less than 2% of the 6,252 total ballots cast but about 8%
in some precincts.
The Pima Co Arizona lawsuit goes to
court tomorrow. That suit, if the results go our way, should
provide a lot of information about elections and the voting
machines being used across the country.
There is also a
great review of “Margin of Error, Ballots of Straw”. We
have a couple copies left which we would be happy to send
out as a premium
in exchange for a $50 donation. [Note: VotersUnite! is
