it s 20 years old and cost like freakin 10k with a VVPR printer. YOU WILL NEVER SEE a printer from Sequoia-- Mecer was told after they bought the Davantage-- when they asked for the printers---
"why dont you buy new equipment"

You are truly fucked in Monmouth-- you will spend 8 million on the DREs and then another 5 million on software-- PC baased tabulators--- and none of this can be used for a federal election, starting in 2006 according to section 301 of HAVA.

The Advantage is not wheelchair accessible either- the screen is 10 inches too high,--

1. Call the Asbury Park Press

I know that the Freeholders are terrified of the APP. With all the scandals erupting since the 6 arrests in February, they are worried that their appointed Freeholder Bill Barham (Larrison's best buddy's son) may not win election in November. I would write to the APP, but I work for the County; trust me, the Freeholders and their incompetent, arrogant and corrupt administration have a great deal to hide. They are a smaller, mirrored version of our inept, corrupt and arrogant federal government. For years they have been giving out no-bid professional contracts to their favorite engineering firms - the ones who have been contributing big time to the GOP coffers. And, surprise surprise, all of a sudden (ever since operation Bid-Rig ) they are buying state contract Ford trucks, rather than the overpriced, specially specified (so only one bidder can qualify) International Trucks for their Public Works departments. They need just a few more nails in their coffin - whatever you can give to the APP may just be the ticket to collapse their empire in November. :dem:
