The ACLU has gone to court to force Cuyahoga County to abandon plans to use a new voting machine in the March 4 presidential primary election because it does not provide a way of notifying voters about ballot errors. Voters in other Ohio counties will use equipment that does alert voters to errors and the ACLU says that puts Cleveland-area voters at a disadvantage.
A General Accounting Office study has determined that there are flaws in voting machines that make them susceptible to error and fraud. Ohio has been singled out as a state with huge voting discrepancies in the 2004 election, including charges that the election was stolen in that state.
