Jacob Soboroff video-chatted with Princeton professor Edward Felten. After he was alerted to strange vote tallies by Sequoia voting machines on Super Tuesday, Sequoia wrote to tell Felton that if he investigated the malfunction, even at the request of county clerks, it may be grounds for a lawsuit against him.

Felten was the lead computer science expert witness for the Department of Justice in the Microsoft antitrust case, and he has testified before the Senate Commerce Committee on digital television technology and regulation, and, after uncovering that Diebold voting machines could be hacked, before the House Administration Committee on electronic voting.

  • My question is that if so many discrepancies in Sequoia's e-voting machines have been identified, then why can't immediate changes be made? Do they hold some type of monopoly in their industry? It seems ridiculous that there aren't any other alternatives available. If investigating Sequoia proves fruitless, then it's up to the states to follow through with an aggressive plan to get this situation resolved immediately, if not sooner!

  • We are staying on top of it and will report back what we hear. In California, there have been decertifications of voting machines there for problems similar to the ones cited by Professor Felten. -- jacob

  • Gawd, can't your company afford "live" studio interviews? Cheap ass old things!

  • I am awaiting the HD studio hookup. ;)

    is such a QT!

  • you should consider changing the name now that super tuesday is over.

  • Keep going by the way. Tuesday is so illogical nowadays. But, the American system is so slow and clogged with bureaucracy. We really could use an entire new system, IMO. Call a constitutional convention and then have some sort of national (maybe weighted by state) referendum.

  • Deal. :)

  • Don't be impatient now.

  • sure, and i really like the video but i didnt have a comment :P
