Enraged NY State Election Commissioner Doug Kellner called the secret reports &#8220;soiled laundry&#8221;\u009d that both the company and EAC had been trying to hide. Friday, the EAC reacted to the disclosure by CIBER of confidential EAC documents by releasing the assessment reports upon which last summer&#8217;s decision for non-accreditation of CIBER was based. The documents, kept secret by the EAC for half a year, reveal a shocking level of incompetence and negligence by the &#8220;independent testing authority&#8221;\u009d (ITA) lab which tested electronic voting machines used by 68.5% of the registered voters in the November 2006 election.&#8221;\u009d&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: Secret EAC Reports Reveal Sloppy, Incomplete and Non-Existent Testing by Federal Test Lab for Voting Machines Used Across the Country Last November <a href=\" https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4086\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Feds to Let Two Firms Test E-voting Machines<br \/>\nNIST certifies iBeta, SysTest Labs under latest requirements guidelines <a href=\" http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/action\/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#038;articleId=280790&#038;intsrc=hm_list\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: New York Halts E-voting Machine Testing <a href=\" http:\/\/www.computerworld.com\/action\/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&#038;articleId=280967&#038;intsrc=hm_list\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Assessment of Labs Reveals Flawed Voting System Testing <a href=\" http:\/\/www.votetrustusa.org\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=2223&#038;Itemid=26\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Diebold Key Hack Story Updates&#8230; <a href=\" https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4082\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Election issues beset new secretary of state<br \/>\nShe faces early primary push, high-tech machine problems <a href=\" http:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/cgi-bin\/article.cgi?file=\/chronicle\/archive\/2007\/01\/29\/BAG69NQN3Q1.DTL&#038;type=politics\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Legislators plan a fresh look at election reform<br \/>\nTo avoid voting glitches, new machines that leave paper trails could be part of the solution for 2008. <a href=\" http:\/\/www.orlandosentinel.com\/news\/local\/state\/orl-vvoting2807jan28,0,6156007.story?coll=orl-news-headlines-state\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: FL-13 &#8211; Attention to Florida&#8217;s Disputed 13th District Wanes Even As Jennings&#8217; Inquiry Presses On <a href=\" http:\/\/www.cqpolitics.com\/2007\/01\/attention_to_floridas_disputed.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Sarasota County &#8211; One race per page<br \/>\nSarasota aims to improve electronic voting <a href=\" http:\/\/www.heraldtribune.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070129\/NEWS\/701290374\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Editorial: Another delay in N.Y. voting <a href=\" http:\/\/www.niagara-gazette.com\/opinion\/local_story_028010354.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NY: Dobbs Ferry revisits November balloting <a href=\" http:\/\/www.thejournalnews.com\/apps\/pbcs.dll\/article?AID=\/20070129\/NEWS02\/701290330\/1026\/NEWS10\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>OH: First criminal convictions from Ohio&#8217;s stolen 2004 election confirm recount was rigged <a href=\" http:\/\/www.freepress.org\/departments\/display\/19\/2007\/2379\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>PA: Northampton County &#8211; Voters can be confident in Norco election process <a href=\" http:\/\/www.mcall.com\/news\/opinion\/anotherview\/all-bottom_col-ajan29,0,5419247.story?coll=all-newsopinionanotherview-hed\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>**&#8221;Daily Voting News&#8221; is meant as a comprehensive listing of reports each day concerning issues related to election and voting news around the country regardless of quality or political slant.
