'RIVERSIDE CHALLENGE': County Supervisors, Voting Machine Company Begin to go Wobbly
Press Coverage Reveals Board of Supervisors, Sequoia Laying Groundwork to Try and Wriggle Out of '1000 to 1' Bet Their Voting Machines Can't Be Hacked...
Anyone Surprised?

As usual, we scooped everyone yesterday with our scintillating coverage of noted computer security expert/programmer Harri Hursti's agreement to accept the challenge thrown down by Riverside County, California Supervisor Jeff Stone to allow someone to come in and attempt to "manipulate" the county's electronic voting equipment made by Sequoia Voting Systems.

The local media in Southern California, however, has now been fairly quick to jump into the game as well with several articles on the matter so far today. Their reports reveal that both the County Board of Supervisors and Sequoia, both as expected, are beginning to try and create some wiggle room to back out from the "thousand to one" bet Stone made publicly last week to local Election Integrity advocates...

1. Sleazy Weasels

It's pure irony that it's gonna make them look bad to not stand behind the machines, and it'll cost them a thousand dollars to prove to us how wrong they were. I hope this ends up happening, but I'm not holding my breath.

2. Bet $1000 Win A Cool Million!

Where do I buy in?

[BradBlog]

3. A good deal, huh?

But you're too late to buy in! ;-)

Besides, I don't know if Stone will be able to come up with more than a million as is. :-)

4. K&R.

Not bad, for a guy who doesn't have 1000 posts yet. ;)

5. K&R

for Supervisor "Weasel" Stone and his 1000:1 bet.

6. What do you expect from a group that appointed the likes of Mischelle Townsend

and Barbara Dunmore as Registrars of Voters? They're hardly interested in clean elections.

7. Look at Riverside's pristine (cough) track record...

Some of it, anyway:

Remarkable hostility to democracy in that elections office.
