Elections officer approves Sequoia voting machines
California's chief elections officer on Monday approved the latest voting machinery from Oakland-based Sequoia Voting Systems, freeing Alameda, San Francisco, Santa Clara and as many as 20 counties to purchase the machines for the 2006 elections.
The decision by Secretary of State Bruce McPherson closely resembles his approval last month of the latest voting system from Diebold Election Systems Inc., with tighter security rules for memory cards and other components shown vulnerable to vote manipulation.
