A Maryland judge has dismissed a challenge to the state's electronic voting system and ruled that elections officials have made a reasonable effort to ensure that votes will be counted properly in November.
Voting activists who had sought to block the state from using touch-screen voting systems said Thursday they had appealed the decision. Activists with the group TrueVoteMD have sought to force the state to add printers to its Diebold machines to ensure that they record votes properly. But Joseph Manck, an Anne Arundel County circuit judge, said measures such as random testing provide a reasonable standard of security.
