Marion County Clerk (Indiana) Accuses ES&S of Lying - (BBV)

[Robbien]

When the Marion County election commission tested its new voting machines Monday, everything worked according to plan. County clerk Doris Anne Sadler told reporters that the machines counted the votes accurately .

It turns out, however, that all is not well. Sadler held a news conference Tuesday, accusing the company that makes the voting machines, Election Systems and Software (ES&S), of lying.

ES&S has been the focus of an I-Team 8 investigation for several months now. Johnson County election commission officials say ES&S installed software into voting machines that hadn’t been approved by the state of Indiana. Those machines were used in last November’s election.

Sadler says something similar happened in Marion County. According to the county clerk, ES&S installed software that hadn’t been certified. Then, without informing the election commission, it later installed software that was certified. The current machines have software that has been approved by the state.

2. Yes and it is great. But this one seems a little different

It does not appear to be part of today's BBV drive. The news station is the one pushing this investigation.
