This is a reminder about the Joint House committee hearings on Voting System Standards.

This is an oppportunity to make high-profile statements challenging the illusion that there is any meaningful regulation of electronic voting systems.

(For reinforcement of that message, read and refer to the testimony of David Wagner).

Deadline: August 18


Note that each of the invited witnesses' presentations are downloadable as individual reports. Video is also now available.

We can also comment on the witness presentations, and set the context for the public by explaining the enabling role of actors such as Lamone, Kiffmeyer, and Davidson.
