Solano County ends e-voting contract with Diebold

[daa]

FAIRFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Nearly a month after touch-screen voting machines were banned in four counties, Solano County supervisors voted to terminate a contract with Diebold Election Systems.
Last month, Secretary of State Kevin Shelley banned Diebold e-voting machines in Solano, San Diego, San Joaquin and Kern counties in the November election because he said a lack of a paper trail made them unreliable.

1. 3 republican counties and 1 Dem county

Lets hope he gets the rest of the SF bay area and the LA basin off of the machines. Those are the Dem strong holds. 33 of 53 counties in CA vote Republican very consistently. They have the rural land mass we have the coastal population density. It is progress none the less. Kudos to Kevin Shelley.

2. Up next?

Methinks some lawsuits are in order.
Diebold should be sued out of existence due to it's performance being a big fat pile of stinking ........
