Globe says U.S. voting glitches boosts Global Election Global Election Systems Inc GSM Shares issued 18,583,672 2000-11-13 close $2.65 Tuesday Nov 14 2000 In the News The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 14, edition that Global Election Systems jumped 88 cents to $2.65 on the Toronto Stock Exchange Monday. The Globe's Market Movers column reports that Global Election stock soared owing to increased exposure brought on by voting glitches in the recent United States presidential race. Company spokesperson, Clinton Rickards, says: "The inadequacy of the equipment being used has been brought to the public eye and to the eyes of the politicians. There is equipment being used for very important issues that isn't up to the technological standards of 2001." Mr. Rickards says Global Election has been receiving a lot of positive media attention following the U.S. election troubles. About 850 election jurisdictions in North America use Global Election's voting systems, including 17 in Florida. Mr. Rickards says the company's equipment experienced "no problems" in Florida, explaining that the results of the mandatory recounts in those jurisdictions matched up with the original tallies.
