What kind of machines are we voting on in the upcoming primaries?

[helderheid]

Now before some of you Senator Clinton fans accuse me of accusing the Clinton Campaign of shenanigans, I am not saying ANYTHING of the sort, however I wouldn't put it past the Republicans to screw with our primaries.

Does anyone know what kind of machines we're voting on?

Thank you kindly.

1. There was an earlier thread which I neglected to bookmark

which indicated that one of those two states had Votesmart machines which had be decertified.

The good news is the early voting pattern in NC.

Sorry I can't be more specific. Have a lot of stuff going on.

2. IN, more touchscreens than op scan; iirc, NC is the reverse. n/t

3. Here in Mercer County, PA, it's ES&S iVotronic touch-screen...

put in after the Unilect Patriot (!) was de-certified in 2005 - after "irregularities" turned up after the 2004 debacle. The iVotronic machines are not problem-free or hack-proof, but supposedly they cannot be hacked from outside, since they are not networked.

Interestingly, I can not confirm the brand of the machine I voted on in the PA Primary - any decals or badges were taped over. Brand X, I guess.

6. Thank you for asking the question

because I've been wondering myself. And yes, the republicans have shown the inclination to throw monkey wrenches in our primaries.
