St. L. County has a new computerized voting system as do many counties,
cities, & states.   Will it "fix" problems or be a source of new problems?
With the November elections and recent debacles like yesterday’s screw up in the Puerto Rico primary, what is in store?

(Remember the famous memo from the Dibol executive?   When they were a/the
major supplier of voting IT systems, and the executive assured certain
politicians that the results would be in their favor?)

Scott Granneman of
Wash U  & Websanity will explain it!
