Voting Systems Testing Board Major Deficiencies Report: Election Systems & Software (ES&S)
Department of State, STATE OF COLORADO ^ | February 15, 2008 | Mike Coffman, Secretary of State

Executive Summary The enactment of House Bill 08-1155 provides the Secretary of State (Secretary) with increased authority over the testing process and allows for additional testing and communication with the vendors and counties by this office. The legislation allows for an order to decertify a voting system to be amended or rescinded if it is determined that the major deficiencies have been resolved or mitigated. As part of the decision to amend or rescind an order, HB1155 allows the Secretary to consider the “accuracy and security procedures, audits, processing functions, and other relevant procedures used by county clerks and recorders in accordance with the laws and rules governing the conduct of elections.” This report by the Testing Board addresses the major deficiencies identified by the Secretary in his order on December 17, 2007 (December 17 decision) decertifying the ES&S voting equipment. This report explains the additional information provided and additional testing that has occurred since the December 17 decision, and demonstrates that the decertified components are able to overcome the major deficiencies outlined in the December 17 decision.

Testing Board Findings The ES&S Unity software, the M100 precinct scanner, the M650 central count optical scanner, and the iVotronic Direct Record Electronic (DRE) voting machine were all decertified by the Secretary for use in the State of Colorado. The major deficiencies identified were failure to detect election programming changes and errors; inability to determine if tabulation software worked correctly; inability to complete testing threshold of 10,000 ballots due to vendor programming errors; system vulnerable to security attack; and failure to provide auditable data to detect security violations.

I say again. It’s not voter fraud (rare), it’s election fraud (common).

Until we realize they are fooling us just wonder, when you vote, for whom your vote is counting.
