  In this paper we study uniform distribution properties of digital sequences
over a finite field of prime order. In 1998 it was shown by Larcher that for
almost all $s$-dimensional digital sequences the star discrepancy $D_N^\ast$
satisfies an upper bound of the form $D_N^\ast=O((\log N)^s (\log \log
N)^{2+\varepsilon})$ for any $\varepsilon>0$. Generally speaking it is much
more difficult to obtain good lower bounds for specific sequences than upper
bounds. Here we show that Larchers result is best possible up to some $\log
\log N$ term. More detailed, we prove that for almost all $s$-dimensional
digital sequences the star discrepancy satisfies $D_N^\ast \ge c(q,s) (\log
N)^s \log \log N$ for infinitely many $N \in \NN$, where $c(q,s)>0$ only
depends on $q$ and $s$ but not on $N$.
