Reply #123: The anti-BBV movement is international

[Kelvin Mace]

Thanks to our (and by "our" I mean everyone from Bev down to the Swarthmore students who raised Hell with Diebold and spit on their DMCA abuses), the movement is alive and well. Ireland put a halt on BBV until rigid auditing standards could be etsablished. Canada has fought to keep the damned things out as well. Nevada went to paper baloots on their DREs. California decertified and humuliated Diebold. And while Maryland still bought the damned things, pressure on the state resulted in TWO separate reports which ar the HARD evidence to ban the machines country-wide.

I just got an invitation to the Hellenic Conference on Electronic Voting (and while they would love to have me, they have no funds to fly me out, alas).

NC appointed a Select Committee to study and draft legislation for the General Assembly and the committee and the voters are looking for paper.

VerifiedVoting.org and VoteWatch.us are hard at work on the issue, as are dozens of other smaller groups.

It is not all about Bev and it hasn't been for some time. While she's been getting all the press, other people have been doing the real work.
