Reply #10: IN: Microvote Investigated in Home State. Another Great Channel 8 WISH [View All]

These folks did great work on the centralized voter registration database that failed miserably on its first test. Now this. These folks are very good and provide some of the best election fraud coverage around. Maybe they could come to DC, ya know, dump The Post, have a video news paper… Oh, btw, Todd Rokita, Scty of State who hired the other local Indianapolis Company to do the registration database that failed, the Republican Governor (Mitch Daniels) wants Todd to investigate.

An Indianapolis-based maker of voting machines used by 47 counties faces tough questions from Indiana's Secretary of State. New concerns were aired during a hearing Monday that may leave you wondering, "Will your vote count?"

<snip>

The state's lawyer claimed that Microvote sold uncertified voting equipment in at least two counties, that it supplied and permitted the use of unreliable voting equipment and that it marketed software that may not be approved for use during the May primary.

Here's what Microvote's president Jim Ries said in January 2004, "I think this year you'll see that our entire industry is going to be under the microscope. Looking back four years ago, what have we done as an industry to increase the faith of the voter and instill the fact that every vote counts." Editorial comment: (Ya think Jim, really;)

But in a letter sent April 5 of this year to the state election division, Ries warned:
"The certified version is not an application capable of guaranteeing a primary election on May second, 2006, without any problems. This is because of potential vote volatility issues."
