I'd like to attend.  I noticed that there is a county council meeting at
 5:00pm.

Here's my plan.  Go, meet up with WPLUG'ers, meet the voting machines,
kick the tires of the sales reps.  Then maybe go to the County Council
meeting at 5:00 and if they take comments from the public, and I have
something to say, say it.

I'd like to check this site out.  Does anybody know about any of the
machines that will be on display there?  Is there anyone who, I don't
know, just finished up their Master's Thesis on voting machines that
hasn't chimed in?  Bueller?
