Daily Voting News For January 26,
2009
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.orgAs
our “Featured” article reports California Secretary of
State Debra Bowen has sent a letter to new EAC Chair Gineen
Beach. The letter has three proposals that Secretary Bowen
is convinced will improve the integrity of voting systems
used in the country. As stated in the article we at
VotersUnite have also worked on this issue. The three
proposals are that vendors should be required to disclose
vulnerabilities, flaws, problems, etc. Also, the EAC should
create a uniform incident reporting program. And finally,
the “Election Day Survey” the states are asked to
complete should include data from election officials about
how their voting systems performed during a general
election. We applaud Secretary Bowen for taking a stand on
this issue....
