Ion Sancho Quotations

I can't read anybody's minds, but up to this point in history no vendor has ever refused to sell to a willing jurisdiction who wants to purchase equipment. Ironically after Leon County conducted tests that revealed vulnerabilities to their e-voting systems, then nobody would sell to us.

Florida is one example of how partisan politics interfere with having folks' votes being counted accurately. Americans have taken elections for granted for far too long.

These were sold as safe systems. They passed tests as safe systems. But?there is a way to rig an election. It's not a bunch of guys stuffing ballots in a precinct. It's possibly one person acting in secret changing thousands of votes in a second.

The secretary of state's office has been a very difficult agency to work with the past couple of years. This gives the governor an opportunity to really step forward and select someone who has expertise in the area of elections.

There was nothing they were seeking that was impossible to achieve. I've been a proponent of settlement from the moment the lawsuit was filed.

It's having the impact that the Legislature intended, which is to move the dates six months earlier than the previous deadline so fewer petitions would qualify.

Being responsible for a multimillion-dollar elections operation really does cause you to weigh all options very, very carefully. To completely junk that system, that's a very, very dramatic move, and regardless of what Dr. Anderson's final approach is, he has to make sure that it's the right thing to do and not rush into anything that he'll regret later on.
