I am frustrated that some Localities did not take the advice of State Officials to disable the WinVote Wireless feature in 2006 and now the Department of Elections is considering decertifying  them and could cost my Locality approximately $300,000. I realize the machines are old; however, there is a simple solution, but more work is involved!! Honest, fraud free elections should be top priority for all of us!!  You have the authority to mandate that all WinVote machines be programmed to produce a single report of votes.  Just disable the Wireless feature.  I hope you do not mandate the replacement of these machines without providing the necessary funds to do so. Governor McAuliffe, the best Governor we have had in many years, saw a need for new voting equipment, and he certainly had the right idea when he felt that Virginia needs only one Voting Machine Vendor!!    .
