BATON ROUGE, La.-- state officials negotiated the contract with Sequoia
Edited on Fri Nov-25-05 01:23 PM by FogerRox


BATON ROUGE, La. State elections officials say the state will spend 31-point-one (m) million dollars to buy five-thousand-33 new voting machines and related equipment after a contract is signed to seal the deal next week.

Commissioner of Elections Angie Rogers LaPlace says state officials negotiated the contract with Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, California, after the company submitted the lowest bid of 37 (m) million dollars. LaPlace says the contract likely will be signed next week and the first machines delivered in early December.

Secretary of State Al Ater says 12 parishes already use Sequoia machines. When the new machines are operating in the other 52 parishes, he says the state will have a uniform and seamless voting system.

afetr Fosters indictment and the 10 or so million $$ payoffs of the past, La. still goes for it---

Funny thing is-- here in NJ, we were told that it would take months to deliver just 700 machines-- and the delivery of 5033 Machines starts within just about a couple of weeks--- for La. Sequoia must really love to be able to get rid of theose 20 year old NON HAVA complaint DREs,

1. Is the CEO of the parent company owning Sequoia...
...still unable to obtain a visa to enter the U.S.?

Millions of Americans must trust their votes on equipment this guy, but our government doesn't trust him enough to place his big toe on our soil?
