Machine vendor Sequoia Voting Systems diagnoses what delayed the ballot tabulation.
SNIP...
"MacKenna, 33, is a computer programmer for the Eckerd Corp. and Florida organizer for failed presidential hopeful Howard Dean. He handily won the Democratic primary Tuesday and quickly seized on the tabulation problem as a key campaign issue.At Tiger Bay, Johnson told his listeners it had been "a beautiful election," except for the vote counting. He offered a lengthy explanation of the indexing problem.
Well, exactly, preened MacKenna, when it was his turn. He reminded the audience he had told several attendees before the meeting that he suspected all along it was a computer indexing problem.Johnson, sitting next to the lectern, smiled and tapped his hands together in mock applause.
But his smile appeared strained when MacKenna said, "We are the laughingstock of the state and the nation because we can't count our votes."We are very proud of Rob, and he will have his hands full beating a Bush-appointed candidates. He is intelligent, out-spoken, and very knowledgeable in the computer area.
