Leon commissioners still seething over missed election deadline

Leon County Commissioner Ed DePuy suggested Tuesday that a grand jury should investigate why the Supervisor of Elections Office was unable to get voting equipment for the disabled by a January deadline.

DePuy, during Tuesday's County Commission meeting, said only an impartial panel of jurors could get to the bottom of the matter.
Commissioner Tony Grippa agreed, but DePuy later withdrew the request.

For the second time in two weeks, Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho faced a barrage of questions from DePuy and Grippa over the equipment issue. Both are upset over the loss of $564,421 in grant money because of the missed deadline and the possibility that the county will have to pay millions more than originally anticipated on new voting equipment.

The grant money, which Sancho hopes to get back, would have gone toward the purchase of voting machines that allow disabled people to vote without assistance. The federal Help America Vote Act requires the equipment in all voting locations.

Also note Sancho is trying to purchase Sequoia machines from CA.Is this an improvement?

Honest election officials are in a damn hard place in states like FL and OH.
