San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters Deborah Hench is among the 19 state elections officials named along with McPherson as defendants in the complaint. The county agreed to purchase 1,625 of the ATM-like TSx machines for $5.7million in 2003 but has used them only once because of certification issues.

McPherson certified the equipment last month after nearly two years of testing and modifications to bring it up to state and federal elections codes. Hench announced soon after that San Joaquin County voters would cast ballots on the TSx for both upcoming elections and said Tuesday that she doesn't expect any changes to result from the lawsuit.

"The state tested this system seven ways to Sunday," Hench said. "They didn't find anything wrong." :eyes:

John Eichhorst, one of two attorneys for the plaintiffs, said Tuesday that June is too close to attempt to stop the equipment's use in the primary. The complaint instead asks that California counties not purchase or use the TSx for the next scheduled general election, in November.

Eichhorst expects the complaint to be heard in the next few months.

1. "...seven ways to Sunday"

Why do they always have to use that scientific mumbo-jumbo?:eyes:

Did I say "scientific"? I meant "HORSESHIT".

2. There was an interesting demonstration of a program in Seattle

in counted votes properly and would pass every single so-called "logic and accuracy" test

then you press the D followed by the S in "President" and you get a 300 vote shift for the first candidate, do the reverse and the 300 vote shift goes to the second candidate. Repeat as often as needed. Pollbooks match total number of votes. A clean election, passing all tests.
