Niki Kelly, writing for the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, reports that Microvote will be sanctioned for failing to provide certified software on its voting machines. As I read the article, with a lot of the sanction suspended, the upshot of Microvote’s punishment is that it won’t be able to sell or lease its machines through 2009 to new buyers in Indiana. It will still be able to market the machines, and there are no elections in 2009.
The Indianapolis-based company was cited for providing 47 counties with electronic voting machines that did not meet all certification requirements at the time of the 2006 primary election.
I have a question – what exactly is the state law here in Indiana on voting machines?
Johnson County had all their electronic voting machines stored in a basement. They were ruining in recent flooding.
Now, they’re thinking about buying some of Florida’s old voting machines, which don’t have a good reputation at all.
