Voting Machine Lawsuit Re-instated In NJ
I want to cover Iowa on this blog, but I can’t ignore developments elsewhere that may affect us. One diligent observer of the voting machine mess says this New Jersey story is a “huge” development.
Lawyers at Rutgers University allege that voting machines are being used in New Jersey despite those same machines being banned in other states. They assert that the voting machines are insecure and say their use may violate New Jersey’s state constitution. Their lawsuit was put back on the court calendar by a state appeals court after being tossed out by a lower court.
Ominously for Iowa, the suit complains that New Jersey does not check the software of electronic voting machines to determine whether they have been tampered with or whether they are faulty. Well, it is even worse in Iowa, as we saw on January 30. When Iowa certifies voting equipment they even alter the software in the middle of the test.
If a similar lawsuit can get any traction in Iowa, the state will be little more than a sitting duck.
