Its like buying a new car and taking it back to the dealer for service and as soon as you pull in the lot the dealership closes its doors and turning out the lights acting like they are closed, yet there is a guy still peeking out the window looking to see if you are still there.riverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00009921159083620971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-85068584780518391882007-08-25T11:44:00.000-04:002007-08-25T11:44:00.000-04:00It is a shame that counties that were forced to purchase these new machines now cannot even get them certified because of some bickering by two for profit companies that could care less about the voter.

BTW election commission upon advice of County employee Howard Erney and Registrar Richard Benner always purchased lever machines from others who abandoned them so could easily always have spare parts is my understanding. common sense wins again! larry@kisslinger.comLarry Kisslingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-15577815229106393732007-08-23T06:43:00.000-04:002007-08-23T06:43:00.000-04:00what a waste of money! again!! should have stayed with old ones in the first place .now everyone will be happy they can vote the old way using the good old lever machines. it's just ashame we couldn't move forward with having the touchscreen machines. seems like a step backward to me how unfortunate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-75266235427433224932007-08-22T22:51:00.000-04:002007-08-22T22:51:00.000-04:00Anon 9:48, <BR/><BR/>Stoffa had been pressured to get rid of the lever machines, but decided against it. He decided to hold onto them because of the litigation challenging the certification of AVS machines and because the citizen advisory panel had raised enough questions about them to make one pause before deciding finally to relinquishe the lever machines. It was sound thinking, a good call.Bernie O'Harehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-56544053400439849262007-08-22T21:48:00.000-04:002007-08-22T21:48:00.000-04:00At least someone in county government had the common sense to keep the old voting machines. I don't know what the other counties are going to do. I still trust the old lever machines to do the job right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-61075401004392250002007-08-22T18:52:00.000-04:002007-08-22T18:52:00.000-04:00Nice!<BR/><BR/>Now if we could only get rid of the casino projects...A.J.
