SENATE CANDIDATE QUESTIONS HAGEL'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Charlie Matulka, the candidate who ran against Chuck Hagel in
Nebraska's U.S. Senate race in November 2002, also wrote to the
Nebraska Secretary of State and to state elections officials in
October 2002. He pointed out that his opponent had ties to ES&S, and
asked them to look into the conflict of interest, but received no
answer.
Several Nebraska ES&S machines malfunctioned on Election Day, and Matulka
filed a
request for a hand count on December 10, 2002. It was denied, because
Nebraska has a
new law that prohibits election
workers from looking at the paper ballots, even in a recount. The
only machines permitted to count votes in Nebraska are ES&S. | |
