Could some of you BBV activists review this?
I just wrote an analysis of what may be an important precedent for BBV activists. However, corporate-free media is my forte; And while I do agree that BBV is very important, I haven't read enough about it to consider myself an expert.
Here is the link, and a sample paragraph:

DUI case may set black box voting precedent.
People who are fighting for open and honest elections in this country may soon have those accused of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) to thank for an important precedent working its way through the courts.
According to vnunet.com: "A Florida court will hear arguments on Friday in a case where the accuracy of a breathalyzer is being scrutinized because the manufacturer has refused to release the source code."<snip>
The defendants in the Florida DUI case are arguing that proprietary code that is above scrutiny is like having a witness against you that does not need to testify in court. I'm not a lawyer, but the Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution seems to favor the defendants. <snip>
If a computer is the primary witness against someone being accused of a DUI, then it should stand to reason that the code on the machine would be a material witness.
If the judge in Florida agrees with the defendants, it should be fairly easy to argue that if proprietary, non-transparent code can't be used to reasonably determine guilt, then it shouldn't be reasonably trusted to tally votes accurately.
If you see errors, or you think I should elaborate, please say so in this thread or register and post comments on the Brainshrub.com site.
Thanks-in-advance.
P.S.: I love the work you folks are doing.
