February 27, 2013 <br /> Page Four (4) <br /> 1 also suggested that voting equipment vendors, whose equipment is certified by the State of <br /> Florida, should be required to service and have parts available for their voting system for 10 to <br /> 20 years. Indian River County's voting system is currently certified by the State of Florida but I <br /> am unable to acquire any replacement memory cards. <br /> After the November 2012 General Election I contacted our vendor, Dominion Voting (Sequoia) <br /> to purchase additional memory cards for our voting equipment, and the representative <br /> informed me: "I've had the team hunt for additional inventory but it looks like the remaining <br /> inventory is being held as warranty replacements and cannot be used for new sales." Indian <br /> River County's voting equipment is out of warranty but still under service contract, and no <br /> memory cards are available for purchase from our vendor. My actions to be pro-active in <br /> acquiring replacement memory cards was to no avail, which leaves our county in a vulnerable <br /> position, considering the numerous memory card failures that occurred in St. Lucie County. <br /> Not only does Indian River County need a new voting system to meet the 2016 Legislative <br /> mandate, but also we are in a vulnerable position since we are being denied the opportunity to <br /> acquire crucial replacement parts for our existing voting equipment. <br /> I look forward to working with the Board of County Commissioners to secure funding for a new <br /> voting system and working with the County in the bidding process. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> { <br /> Leslie Rossway Swan <br /> Supervisor of Elections <br /> Enclosures <br /> cc: Commissioner Wesley Davis, Commissioner Peter O'Bryan, Commissioner Bob Solari, <br /> Commissioner Tim Zorc, and County Administrator Joe Baird <br />
