Northampton County Voting Machine Demonstrations

After February 21, the Sequoia Voting Systems lever look-a-like voting machine will be on display at two locations:

1) Voter Registration Office, 670 Wolf Avenue, Easton, PA.

2) Northampton County Courthouse, 669 Washington Street, Easton, PA in the rotunda.

Besides being displayed, this new system will also be demonstrated, although those dates aren't yet carved in stone.

For those few among you who don't visit the courthouse daily, looking for a chance to knock me off, there will be other demonstrations throughout the county as follows:

Wednesday, February 20 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Northampton Senior Center, 9th and Lincoln Avenue, Northampton, PA.

Thursday, February 21 from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM at the Nazareth Senior Center, 15 South Wood St., Nazareth, PA.

Thursday, February 21 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM at the Lower Mt Bethel Senior Center, RT 611, Martins Creek, PA.

Tuesday, February 26 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Rooney Senior Center, 4 East 4th St., Bethlehem, PA.

Thursday, February 28, from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the Cherryville Senior Center, 4131 Lehigh Drive, Cherryville, PA.

If the weather is bad, don't waste your time trying to get there. You can call the Voter Registration Office at 610-559-3055 to see if the show still goes on. The Morning Call also has a video demonstration, and you can view printed instructions here. In addition, Northampton County Executive Stoffa has asked LANTA to attach a machine to every bus bike rack with as sign saying, "We take a lickin' and keep on tickin'." LANTA wants too much money.

    Drake Minder can lift that voting machine up with just one pinky while smiling and shaving his head with his pinky toe of the opposite side.

    Hopefully the used and refurbished machines we will be paying for hold up through the election.

    anon,

    They told us that is was just the shell that was used - it's just a piece of plastic. The "guts" are all new, and didn't it save us something like $600,000? I like saving.

    It also comes w/ a warranty and Sequoia has been in the election biz for over 100 yrs.

    It was pretty much a unanimous choice. Even Ron, who voted against this, actually agreed this was the best system we had seen. He just doesn't like HAVA shoved down out throats.

    Also, at least this time, we will be reimbursed for every penny we spend.

    I'll believe the reinbursement when I see the check. We have already screwed up once.

    Can't audit software; can't audit the process of your vote!

    We wouldn't be able to correct:
    Congress's
    Betrayal of the American Worker

    If we get another high incumbent retention:

    We know we have a problem.
    Might as well shut downs schools
    and suspend the entire government.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
