Riverside County touch screens: L&A test run in secrecy

This just in:

(More quotes from the memo here: http://www.BBVreport.org)

"I was appointed to represent the Peace and Freedom Party on the Riverside County Logic and Accuracy Testing Board that met on 9 September 2003. I have written a report on what I witnessed that day and I think that you would like a copy.

David Allen, Plan Nine Publishing, has asked for the full report.

"Among other things, portions of the test were performed outside the view of the observation group and everyone who signed the form stating that they had witnessed the test actually signed the form well before the test was complete.

"...I was also treated incredibly poorly because I did not want to sign the form saying the test had been run correctly."

These tests are required to be run in public. What are they hiding? Why sign off before the tests are done? Why ask people to sign even though they weren't allowed to watch?

And by the way, Mischelle Townsend, who is the top elections official for Riverside County, is also one of the top voting machine officials for the United States, sitting on the NASED committee that sets policy on these things.
