NASED Posts New List of Qualified Voting Systems

A new list of certified voting systems has finally been published on the NASED website. The new list, which can be downloaded here, is dated December 15, 2005.

Other than combining the Diebold GEMS 1-18-24 TSx and OS together there are no changes from the last list that was dated November 18, 2005. According to the new list, there is still no 2002 qualification for the Danaher-guardian Shouptronic 1242.

Also of note is that there is still NO Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail printer certified for the Hart Intercivic and NO Sequoia votings systems at all are qualified to the 2002 standards.

There are several troubling inconsistencies and potential violations of federal standards revealed in the new list. In particular, this co-mingling of systems and qualification numbers violates Section 9.6.3 (e) of Volume I the 2002 FEC Guidelines to which voting systems are certified.

'NASED' organization and the relationship with the electioncenter.org to be awfully suspicious. The head guy R. Doug Lewis has a background in selling used cars and
computer equipment (and failing at that). Another imminently qualified reThug.

is this just a corrupt list put out by a corrupt org (NASED)?

New Voting Systems List Leaves Many Questions Unanswered

A new list of certified voting systems, dated December 15, 2005, has finally been published on the National Association of State Election Directors' (NASED) website. The lust leaves many questions unanswered and poses some new and reoubling ones. Other than combining the Diebold GEMS 1-18-24 TSx and OS together there are no changes from the last list that was dated November 18, 2005. According to the new list, there is still no 2002 qualification for the Danaher-Guardian Shouptronic 1242.

Also of note is the fact that there is still no Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail printer certified for the Hart Intercivic eSlate. Equally significantly, none of the Sequoia votings systems are qualified to the 2002 standards, calling into question their viability as alternatives for compliance with the federal mandates of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).

Additionally, there are several troubling inconsistencies and potential violations of federal standards revealed in the new list. In particular, the co-mingling of systems and qualification numbers violates Section 9.6.3 (e) of Volume I the 2002 FEC Guidelines to which voting systems are certified.
