W.Va. Sticking With E-Voting Machines

West Virginia will not follow the lead of other states and decertify its electronic voting machines, The Associated Press reports.

The Secretary of State's office affirmed its reliance on the devices "just weeks after top officials in Ohio and Colorado declared such machines unfit for elections," the AP article said. "Thirty-four West Virginia counties use Election Systems and Software's iVotronic touch-screen machines."

The article also notes that "There are no documented cases of actual election tampering involving electronic voting machines across the United States. But in tests, researchers in Ohio and Colorado found they could be corrupted with magnets or Treos and other similar handheld devices."
