NorCo L&A Testing of Express Vote XL Starts Monday

 From the NorCo Elections Office: Notice is hereby given that on Monday, April 1, 2024, at 10:00 am, the Northampton County Board of Elections will be conducting the Logic & Accuracy (L&A) Testing of the DS Central Count Scanners to be used at the General Primary Election to be held on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, to ascertain that they will accurately count the votes cast for all offices.

 This will take place in the 3rd Floor Training Room of the Northampton County Government Center. Testing is open to the public and media.


Blogger's Note: According to the Elections Assistance Commission, "Logic and Accuracy (L&A) Testing is a collection of pre-election procedures that insure that the voting equipment and ballots to be used in an upcoming election can properly display the ballot, collect votes, and tabulate results. Usually referred to as L&A, these tests occur prior to the election and are conducted in such a way as to make public observation of the procedures and results possible. The historical purpose of L&A was to permit candidates, parties and the public to review ballots and lever machine programming prior to the election. The purpose was to demonstrate that the ballot was accurate, complete and votes cast could be properly tabulated."

  1. Will a technician or rep from ESS be there with the machines during the testing??

  2. Scheduled for April Fools Day. Got it. So let me get this one for all you conspiracy theorists who think you've been right all along and are always right (in your own mind, of course) - if there is even one irregularity, despite testing, it will still be a rigged election. Unless of course your candidate wins in which case all is good. No need for any other comments. Case closed. Back to your regularly scheduled 'just asking questions' programming.

  4. Even if the Northampton County election testing is flawless, that wonderful result has very little bearing on what eventually goes down in every other county and state across this nation. I expect there WILL be many objections (so-called conspiracy theories) whatever final results are announced. I won’t criticize anyone for raising those objections. Checks and balances are good.

  5. It was tested the last time and there still was a mishap.

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.
