even though the law already says paper ballots may be given out if even one machine breaks down, and even though the machines have broken down historically, and even though there is likely to record turnout and not nearly enough machines to serve voters as is, this county has not previously - prior to the new directive from the SoS, or even in response to the old one, issued over a month ago - made plans to ensure that voters would be able to vote come hell, high-water, or completely-predictable machine-failure. Disgraceful.

Montgomery County forces voters to use the Sequoia Voting Systems’ faulty, error-prone, hackable AVC Advantage DRE touch-screen voting machines. Those are the same machines that wouldn’t start up at all in New Jersey on Super Tuesday this year, delaying Governor John Corzine, and countless other voters’, ability to cast a vote at all for nearly an hour on the morning of primary day.

The same Sequoia machines in New Jersey also reportedly flipped votes from Obama to Clinton that day, before proceeding to misreport vote totals in dozens of counties, and even lose votes entirely, as reported by Princeton University in their recently released court-ordered analysis of the Advantage machines.
