] During the demonstration of the Sequoia machine last ] week, the machine worked fine when the company tested ] votes using an English-language ballot. But when the ] testers switched to a Spanish-language ballot, the paper ] trail showed no votes cast for two propositions. ] "It was our fault for not proofing the Spanish language ] ballot before demonstrating it," Charles said. "We had ] a demo ballot that we designed in a hurry that didn't ] include all of the files that we needed to have the ] machine present all of the voter's selections on the ] screen and the printed ballots. That would never ] happen in an election environment because of all the ] proofing that election officials do." A lack of QA might pick our next president. |
