From today’s Courant:
After being forced to scrap plans to buy thousands of new high-tech voting machines because no company could meet Connecticut’s requirements, state officials revealed Friday that one of those requirements never existed in state law.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said there is nothing in state statutes or regulations that requires a voting machine to show a full ballot on the screen.[...]
Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz said her office started to wonder about the requirement after so few voting machine companies could produce a machine that could show voters the entire ballot, as well as meet other requirements.
Nice to see that the state has just gone through such a rigmarole because of a bad assumption.
