What
a mess Colorado has become. Last year the state lost in
court because their previous system for certifying the
voting machines used in the state was non-compliant with
state law. The court required the state to test all voting
systems used in the state and have them all recertified. The
state hired test labs and spent a huge chunk of tax
payer’s money to do what they were supposed to have
already done. This retesting actually managed to find that
systems used in the state were not compliant and they were
decertified. That put the counties into panic mode which
resulted in the Secretary of State seemingly unable to make
any decisions. The governor and the state legislature got
involved and they have now signed a just passed law that
will allow the Secretary of State to rush to recertify all
of the voting systems that were previously decertified.
Supposedly all of the problems found by the test labs will
be taken care of and suddenly all of the non-compliant
systems will be compliant. The counties are now happy and
the vendors are happy. What a wonderful world.
Yes there
was a primary in Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia today. News was scarce before distribution time so
we will catch it tomorrow....
