Sequoia Voting Systems scares NJ county off of auditing its machines — so much for fair elections in Union County

Further to last night's post about Sequoia, the voting machine vendor that sent a legal threat to Ed Felten, the renowned Princeton prof who was tapped by the New Jersey's Union County to audit their Sequoia machines and make sure they're secure enough to use:

Union County has backed off a plan to let a Princeton University computer scientist examine voting machines where errors occurred in the presidential primary tallies, after the manufacturer of the machines threatened to sue, officials said today…

On the advice of county's attorneys, however, Rajoppi said today she must forego all plans for independent analysis.
