CA SoS Bowen Denies Application for Certification of ES&S Unity EMS/OpScan and AutoMARK

[Wilms]

CA SoS Bowen refused, today, to certify ES&S Unity 3.0.1.1 EMS/OpScan and the AutoMARK ballot marker because of the vendor's "continued failure" to provide adequate "Use Procedures" required to operate the system given the security defects discovered by the California Top to Bottom Review.

ES&S can reapply in 45 days if it submits Use Procedures for the AutoMARK by April, 8th, and for the Unity EMS/OpScan by April 15th.

4. It's About TIME!

The results of the ES&S Top to Bottom Review have been all but ignored in the so-called election integrity community. This stuff is just as bad as Diebold and the others.

Thank goodness Bowen is still on the job.

6. But...but...but, Bill!

It's much more important to run around screaming about Wally O'Dell promising to deliver Ohio to Bush.

And then there's the exit polls. Ya know, we're going to change the outcome of the 2004 election with them!
