1. Other similar stories to look for from Indy are about ES&S.

Wendy Orange is a former ES&S employee who left the company and turned whistleblower this past year, when ES&S was screwing over Marion County. The extent of the BBV problems in Indiana cannot be overexaggerated.

2. Thanks for posting that.

One part of the interview I found interesting was at the end:

I-Team: How do they know that when they voted for Candidate X that their vote for Candidate X was recorded?

Ries Jr.: Well, because of identity or lack of identity with records, there's really no way that I could prove to a voter, post tally, that their vote exactly counted the way that they voted it. Even in a paper-based system, that identity leaves the voter once that envelope is opened and the ballot is counted. There is no way to link that individual ballot back to that individual voter. And I understand some of the scrutiny towards the security and certainly the question asked, “How do I know my vote counts.” We do need to have some measure available to show them it does count.

Well, it seems to me that I would know how I voted, even after the envelope was open and my ballot was laying in a pile. I don't need to know which ballot was mine.
