The Small World of Voting Machine Certification

An understaffed tiny federal agency and 2 private testing labs responsible for certification of nation’s voting systems

The fallout of the Nov. 3 elections has put the spotlight on the integrity of electronic voting machines used in the United States. In response, authorities have pointed to certifications of the machines as a safeguard against potential systemic problems with the voting machines and their software.

A deeper look into the certification process used for the machines, however, reveals that the main certification agency in the United States, the federal Election Assistance Commission (EAC), maintains an unexpectedly small staff, and one of its chief employees is a former executive of Dominion Voting Systems.

A very well written and researched story on voting machine certification.

Ping.

[FreedBird]

Pretending they supervise fair elections.

Texas refused to allow use of the auto-cheater voting machines. The only states that use them are the states that needed to cheat to win.
Telling, isn’t it?

In this 2017 letter to Jack Cobb, Senator Wyden asks if Pro V&V employs a CIO. I wonder if Jack respond, why yes, we employ Jessica Bowers as our CIO. She formerly was director of certification for Dominion.

We went through this in the aftermath of the 2000 Hanging Chad election.

Touch screen voting should NEVER BE USED. The only sort of voting that safeguards against software manipulation is paper ballots that are filled out by the voter, then optically scanned. Those paper ballots can then be used for a manual recount that bypasses ALL SOFTWARE.

The Dominion machines used by many states including Georgia use a touch screen to vote, then prints a paper receipt that is kept for a manual recount. But if the software alters one in ten ballots as it's printed, the voter may never know, and the 'paper hand recount' would match the electronic count.

?

Agreed. And the counting software ought to be open source and verified by NIST (the old National Bureau of Standards).

The same thing for software for signature matching. The software presumably has some sort of "stringency parameter" specifying how good a match is required to pass. In the last election, was this parameter the same in all counties in a state?

A paper trail of ballots to allow a manual recount as you say, and a paper trail of signature verifications for absentee ballots.

[KittyKares]

Something so important is all a big mess.

[eyedigress]

By design.

This topic of discussion was before it's time, it needs reviving related to current examinations of electronic election fraud.
