Touch-screen lawsuit continues

Vote lawsuit continues

By Darrell Smith
The Desert Sun
October 8th, 2003

Susan Marie Weber will face a federal appeals panel today in Pasadena.

It's the latest chapter in the Palm Desert woman's three-year battle challenging the constitutionality of paperless touch-screen voting systems.

Weber filed suit against then-Secretary of State Bill Jones and Riverside County Registrar of Voters Mischelle Townsend in 2001 to have the system -- used in Riverside and three other California counties -- replaced or supplanted by another system.

A federal judge in 2002 dismissed the suit.

District Court Judge Stephen V. Wilson agreed with election officials Jones and Townsend that the machines met the State of California’s certification process for voting machines.

Secretary of State and Riverside County elections officials have since said the electronic voting machines are accurate and reliable, have safeguards programmed into them and meet the requirements of federal and state commissions.

But the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel agreed to hear oral arguments today in the suit.
...

Whatever happens today in Pasadena, Susan Marie Weber should be seen as a pioneer, Alexander said

"The right to have a paper ballot is the voting rights struggle of our time," Alexander said.

"If she wins, it could fundamentally shake up the foundation of electronic voting. If she loses, the courts can be sure that more (challenges) will follow."
