Secretary of State Bowen's Speech (Video)

Edited on Mon Jan-15-07 12:08 AM by kster

From The Speech:

1.Kevin Shelly, right on a great many issues that had at their core the security and accuracy of the vote.

2.Open process and as much transparency as we can possibly muster, whether it be the smallest decision to the largest all the way down to how the voting machines and counting equipment operates, and we are going to eliminate the use of private invisible proprietary software, that no one can evaluate, as a means of counting our votes.

3.The problem that we have with voting machines is that you can't see what is happening in there and therefor you have to rely on someone else.

2. kster, thanks for sharing the good news!!! Bowen is serious. You can tell

by her first hire, kick ass attorney Lowell Finley (actually he's very refined). He is the first attorney to successfully sue a vendor, Diebold, and got money for Alameda County (Oakland, Berkley, CA) for the big "D's" screw ups. Pack you bags bad guys, there's someone serious in town. Time to clean up the mess. California is a gem for out party. All we need is fair elections. This will make it happen.

Oops, Arnold, Karl, and the rest of the brain trust who thought they could steal votes in the biggest state by far. They stole money with their power squeeze, that was enough. No more.

3. I'm sorry

...to keep harping on this matter, but when she says: "3.The problem that we have with voting machines is that you can't see what is happening in there and therefor you have to rely on someone else."

It sure seems to me she too thinks that the voting machines have no audit capacity as required in the same federal law that bought these machines.

I hope you can forgive me?

4. Yep, you can audit the machines but,

even if you find a problem with the machine's, that did the counting, you cannot have a look inside the "actual" machine'S, FLA 13 comes to mind, the Crooks ====HAD==== their bases covered.

But not no more! They need to take their "pretend-a-audit" bill and their secret vote counting machines, and stick em.

DEMAND! Paper Ballots Hand Counted and recorded at the precinct level, Put an end to their b*llsh*t.
