Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org "The manufacturer of voting machines under scrutiny in Sarasota County accused a House Democrat Tuesday of trying to ''intimidate'' and ''unduly influence'' a Florida appeals court. The move by Election Systems & Software comes days after Rep.

She said she was ''concerned'' that a lower court judge had declined to give Democrats access to the software used in voting machines in the contested District 13 congressional election." // "Voting equipment suppliers built faulty machines and election officials failed to test it properly, say studies released Tuesday about the slow vote count in November's election.
