Watch The Trouble With Touch Screens
These are the machines Sussex County uses. Exclusively.
- The only test performed on the ES&S iVotronic Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) touch-screen voting machines by the people who manufacture the machines in the Philippines is a "shake test" to ensure there were no loose pieces left in the machines.
- The people who make these machines (in the Philippines) earn $2.10 to $2.50 per day and work in what amounts to a sweat shop where cats, rats, and snakes were removed from the basement by the truckload.
- The American who was dispatched to deal with problems at the factory back in 2001 admits that the touch-sc
reens failed and "bubbled" as far back as then. But what has been done about it since?
The machines made by ES&S may not have any screws loose, but the people who think privatizing the right to vote certainly do!
