"They threatened to have me thrown out of the recount because I raised certain questions," Lewin said. "We felt we had a right to look at the machines. You can't look at the ballot in isolation of the ballot assembly."

Mary Jo Long, director of the Licking County Board of Elections, said the voting machines must be sealed for 60 days after the election, when the machines could then be inspected if a contest of election lawsuit is filed.

4. Interesting paragraph....

"Mary Jo Long, director of the Licking County Board of Elections, said the voting machines must be sealed for 60 days after the election, when the machines could then be inspected if a contest of election lawsuit is filed."


If they must be sealed, why are the tabulators open to "adjustments" as in the case of Diebold and Triad?

5. I know.....

And what about the replacement comming from triad.

2. Wow, 60 days before you can look into the machines. I hope

they're unplugged and can't be dialed into by their owners - Diebold, etc.

3. What is up with sealing the machines?

Mary Jo Long, director of the Licking County Board of Elections, said the voting machines must be sealed for 60 days after the election, when the machines could then be inspected if a contest of election lawsuit is filed.

What, do they have to marinate? Ripen? Age? C'mon

7. I think it is intended to mean...

That the machines are to be sealed for 60 days DURING which they could be inspected if a lawsuit is filed.

As long as they are open for inspection! I guess I didn't get enough sleep last night and read it wrong. ty

8. I have a big problem with this :

Chris Abbruzzese, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's office, said he did not not know if any counties have allowed inspection of the machines.

"We're not aware of any, but it's subject to their interpretations," Abbruzzese said. "It's up to their discretion."

9. I agree. That's a problem. n/t
