Accenture Strikes Out…Again

Just one look at this front page article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel makes you wonder what the heck is going on with Wisconsin’s attempt to put together a federally-required Statewide Voter Registration System.

In previous posts I’ve offered my insight on this debacle.

But the kicker in this article is State Elections Board Director Kevin Kennedy saying if we stop working with Accenture now, despite their totally blowing the January 1st deadline to have the list in place, we wouldn’t be up with a list until AFTER 2008.

What?

Kevin, Kansas – one of the three other states to cancel their contracts with Accenture – met the federal mandate only nine-months later with another vendor.

I thought Kennedy was this year’s head of a national association of election officials…doesn’t that include Kansas?

Accenture has screwed this list up and needs to be fired. Maybe it's also time for someone else to take over this project.
