BBV - Federal court upholds Calif. e-voting ban |
|
Computerworld JULY 07, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - A federal judge today upheld California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley's April 30 directive that decertified touch-screen voting machines and withheld future certification until vendors of those systems could meet specific security requirements, including voter-verifiable paper audit trails (VVPAT).
The decision arose from a lawsuit, Benavidez v. Shelley, brought by disability rights advocates and four California counties -- Riverside, San Bernardino, Kern and Plumas -- that oppose Shelley's VVPAT requirement and decertification orders for direct-recording equipment (DRE) voting systems.

fast-tracked, no doubt. But paper's a possibility. I'll bet the old machines are still around.
