ES&S is Late to Deliver
As of this morning at 10:00 am March 22, 2007, ES&S has yet to delivery election materials to its customers in Clark and Taylor Counties here in Wisconsin. I just finished speaking with, Gayle Vatne, Deputy clerk of Clark County, Wisconsin.
ES&S has not delivered any PEBs for the iVotronics used in 43 of the 44 municipalities of the county.
ES&S has not delivered any memory cards used by any of the scanners used in the county.
ES&S has not delivered all of the paper ballots ordered.
I spoke with Bruce Strama, County Clerk for Taylor County, Wisconsin at 4:00 pm on March 21, 2007.
ES&S has not delivered any PEBs for the iVotronics used in the 27 municipalities of the county.
ES&S has not delivered any memory cards used by any of the scanners used in the county.
ES&S has the paper ballots ordered.
Both clerks expect the missing election materials to be delivered by Friday, March 23, 2007. But, from my phone calls on Monday, March 19, 2007, the clerks were expecting ES&S to deliver the missing election materials by yesterday, Wednesday, March 21, 2007.
[update: The materials were finally delivered on noon, Friday, March 23, 2007. The belated functional testing required by WI 5.84 is scheduled for today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. The exact times and locations vary by municipality] I hope 7 to 10 days is sufficient time for there to be an error-free test as required by statute.

Voting is the linchpin of democracy. And democracy demands transparency, not trust. Yet, there is no real transparency to the way Americans vote today. While our politicians are required to vote publicly and openly, we citizens are held to a different standard - a lower standard. We vote remotely, privately and anonymously by machine, absentee, early, and secret ballot. It's an invitation to massive and undetectable vote fraud.
And we are willing to trust companies that show themselves to be as UNtrustworthy as ES&S?
