Snohomish County Auditor Bob Terwilliger comments on Sequoia's performance installing the first touch screen voting system in the Pacific Northwest in time for the September 18, 2002 Washington Primary:
"We are pleased to report that our first countywide election using touch screen voting technology has been an unqualified success. Voters and poll workers alike enjoyed casting their votes on Sequoia's state-of-the-art touch screen voting machines."
Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark talks about Sequoia's performance in the September 10, 2002 Florida Primary
"With only a few months to implement a new voting system for our 570,000 registered voters, we were anxious to say the least. But Sequoia met or beat every deadline, and Peter Cosgrove and his staff were accessible and responsive. It also helped to have the support of our County Commissioners, who felt it was important to buy the best voting system available. Our election was a major success. Our voters love the new touch screens, and so do we!"
Palm Beach County Election Supervisor Theresa LePore explains why she selected Sequoia Voting Systems over other touch screen vendors:
"After enduring the most intense media scrutiny in U.S. history, it's crucial that we work with the best technology and the most experienced vendor to restore public confidence in Palm Beach County elections. As a result of our interviews with the main voting equipment vendors and with voting supervisors across the nation, we have concluded that Sequoia not only provides the most user friendly voting systems, but it is the only company with experience converting large jurisdictions to electronic voting technology."
Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax talks about his experience with Sequoia's AVC Advantage electronic voting machine, which was installed on a countywide basis beginning in 1994:
"Printing the ballots from the AVC Advantage electronic voting machines was a simple and straightforward process and both recounts proved our results were 100 percent accurate. I am very confident that the elections we conduct in Clark County are secure, confidential and accurate, and the machines have been very popular with voters from the start."
Riverside County Registrar of Voters Mischelle Townsend explains why she selected Sequoia Voting Systems to assist her with the nation's first major countywide installation of touch screen voting technology:
"First, the financial stability of the company was important, considering the size and length of our contract. Second, their voting equipment was the most responsive and well-designed. Sequoia was the only company to offer a self- contained unit, complete with voting booth and touch screen equipment. Sequoia's competition could not offer such an integrated unit at that time. Another reason was that Sequoia's software is proprietary, not sold off-the-shelf and available to anyone, making it much more secure. Lastly, I researched all of the companies and found that Sequoia's customer service during and after the sale was, by far, the best in the industry."
