The week that Ohio's Republican Secretary of State booted Diebold for failing to fix security holes, the Texas Secretary of State claims that advocates for "safe voting" are mere "special interests."
The Secretary of State contends that the Texas process to certify voting systems is rigorous -- even though our certification process didn't pick up on Diebold's problems, didn't notice thatthe audit feature in ES&S systems is broken -- a system used in Dallas, Chambers, and Bexar Counties.
He says the fact that we haven't had a massive failure yet proves that the system is safe. Not good to have government officials with their heads in the sand.
