County Supes Approve Sequoia Voting Contract
By J. Douglas Allen-Taylor (06-09-06)

A divided Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 Thursday to approve a $13.25 million, three-year voting machine contract with Sequoia Voting Systems of Oakland, ending, for the present, the county’s relationship with controversial Diebold Election Systems.

Supervisors Alice Lai-Bitker, Gail Steele, and Scott Haggerty voted for the contract; Supervisors President Keith Carson and Supervisor Nate Miley voted against it.

Following Thursday’s vote, an angry Carson said, “I’ve been consistent . I haven’t bullshitted people like some people are bullshitting here today.”

Carson left the supervisors immediately after the vote on the contract to go into closed session, and was not available to comment on who he was directing his “bullshitting” comment to.
