Oakland california chooses sequoia voting systems Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.newarkadvocate.com/news/stories/20040113/localnews/218309.html http://www.newarkadvocate.com/news/stories/20040113/localnews/218309.html County chooses voting machines By KENT MALLETT Advocate Reporter NEWARK -- The Licking County Board of Elections has selected Sequoia Voting Systems, of Oakland, Calif., to supply it with 700 touch-screen voting machines. The board voted 3-1, with Mike King, Ray McKenna and Don Hoover in favor and Curtis Johnson dissenting. As director of the board, Mary Jo Long does not have a vote on the issue, but was comfortable with the decision. "We've looked at all the (interested companies)," Long said. "We've been doing this nearly three years. I'm certainly happy with it." Diebold Election Systems, Inc., of Canton, had lobbied members of the Newark & Licking County Chamber of Commerce to convince the Board of Elections to choose its system. Mark Radke, director of marketing for Diebold Election Systems, said he had hoped the county would pick Diebold because the company has a plant in Newark. The local plant does not manufacture voting machines. "Diebold is very disappointed that Licking County elected to go with a competitor, especially considering the fact we have a large manufacturer located in the county and a large number of Diebold employees live in the county," Radke said Thirty-two of Ohio's 88 counties, including Fairfield, Muskingum and Perry, have already chosen Diebold, Radke said. The state of Ohio has applied to the federal government for a waiver of the Help America Vote Act, which mandated the state's punch cards be replaced by this year's Nov. 2 general election. The waiver would allow Ohio counties to delay implementation of a new system until 2006. Long said it is Licking County's intent to first use the new system in the 2005 primary. Radke said most of the 32 counties using the Diebold system told him they plan to use the new system in 2004.
