"Election officials in Kenton County and most of Kentucky have repeatedly violated state regulations that mandate testing of some voting machines before elections. The tests were not performed in Kenton County or any of the almost 100 other counties - including Boone and Campbell counties - that use voting machines provided by Lexington-based Harp Enterprises, the company's president told the Kentucky Board of Elections on Friday. A test that local officials are required to perform would have almost certainly detected a programming error made by Harp Enterprises that rendered almost 80 of its E-slate machines incapable of tabulating straight-ticket voting on Election Day in Kenton County." - MikeAmundsen via Bookmarklet
