California Voting Systems Panel Public Hearing January 15, 2004 - Let's fill the room this time!
The next meeting of the California Voting Systems Panel will be held on January 15, 2004 at 10:00 AM. If you have followed recent events, an audit of installed Diebold hardware, firmware and software produced ZERO fully certified installations when reviewing random systems over 17 counties. However, information provided to the State's offices arrived too late to be fully scrutinized in time for the most-recent meeting. Further, the State has now ordered a wider audit - covering all counties.
This is a critical meeting that all verified voting advocates should attend. In the last meeting, we were literally outnumbered by voting manufacturer employees and management. It would be best if we reversed that at the upcoming meeting.
The VSP encourages the public to submit written comments on agenda items. Comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on January 6th to ensure their delivery to the VSP members prior to the meeting. If you wish to provide information or present an oral statement at the meeting, please contact Michael Wagaman at (916) 657-2166 or
