The Delaware Office of Management and Budget has requested $10 million for new state voting machines. But the state has not released any bid information on the vendors competing for the contract. OMB previously said it would keep the info private until it awarded the contract. Common Cause Delaware decried the lack in transparency and the Delaware Attorney General sided with them last month, saying OMB has to release the bid rankings.
But OMB Director Mike Jackson said he won’t make the data available until mid July.
“So, we will comply, it’s just a matter of working with the Attorney General’s Office to make sure we’re complying in a way that is appropriate,” he said.
