"Opposition to Electronic Voting System Grows in France"

The NY Times article, "Opposition to Electronic Voting System Grows in France," discusses concern about the use of machines from the same manufacturer that made the machines involved in the 18,000 vote undercount in Florida. The NY Times quotes Rob Palmer, director of marketing and communications for ES&S-iVotronic as saying: "We have an extreme amount of confidence in our machines in France" ... "Our machines have proven themselves in thousands of elections in the United States and elsewhere." Ars Technica's article, "Congress finally considers aggressive e-voting overhaul" covers "Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act".
