The Utah Lt. Gov. office is talking about requiring audits in Nov. and in the future. The audit in Nov. may be done by the Lt. Gov. office itself. One can only wonder what transparency there will be. They will go to the state legislature to ask for funding and a law for future audits. Perhaps the Brennan Report is getting through to a few people? One can only hope….

THX John,.. THX Brad,.. the effort,.. time,.. attention,.. and wisdom you guys have devoted
to this issue,.. looks to be showing some results.
The tides are turning.
Let’s all go to the beach…..
Sometime after election day,.. Nov. 2006.
Something tells me they’re going to leave Utah’s computer scientists out of the process. If they audit themselves, it doesn’t give me confidence!
True, this is off topic, but it’s related. I was just listening to the BBC and they reported on the Mexico election for president. They were hoping to be able to project a winner from about 7,500 polling stations, but it’s too close to call, so they’re going to have to wait a couple of days for the results, as they will count all the votes to determine the winner. Imagine that! If I were thinking about importing some democracy I surely wouldn’t order it from the U$…
Heres a good one, its called True Lies
I propose that some of the audits be random, but that any swing or key district be audited no matter how close the numbers are.
If we had hand counting we would not need billions of dollars spent on extremely low quality software and hardware.
Hand counting is the most economical and the most accurate at this point.
Hey it’s July not August! Lets not get ahead of ourselves!
Ooooops! in re: Mexico – turns out the foxes are guarding the hen house, and they don’t need no steenkin’ exit polls. Hmmm, sounds familiar…
