Test results on New Jersey e-voting machines will be released

The new ruling means that conmputer experts at Princeton University will be able to analyze the machines starting next week, and publish their results in late September before the November election.

"For any electronic voting system to be successful, the voters have to trust the voting machines. In the U.S., that trust simply does not exist."
