I, as many in the Election Integrity community, waited to provide the news of the actions of California Secretary of State Bowen with respect to the voting systems used in California. In a clear victory for the EI community and the voters in the state Secretary of State Bowen has announced the following actions: ES&#038;S InkaVotePlus used only in Los Angeles County has been decertified. Hart Intercivic version 6.1 was withdrawn from use in the state by the company. The other systems by Diebold, Sequoia and Hart all had approval for use withdrawn with conditional reapproval for use in the state primary election on 5 February 2008. The conditions for reapproval are tough and thorough with Diebold and Sequoia limited to one DRE per polling place for use by voters with disabilities on election day&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: IEEE &#8211; Paper-based elections: no better than electronic ones? <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.spectrum.ieee.org\/tech_talk\/2007\/08\/paperbased_elections_no_better.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Diebold Voting Machines Vulnerable to Virus Attack<br \/>\nAn analysis of Diebold&#8217;s source code shows that a hacker with access to a single voting machine could use a virus to affect an election. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/id,135461-c,techindustrytrends\/article.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Holt&#8217;s paper trail bill still waiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politicsnj.com\/holt-s-paper-trail-bill-still-waiting-10751\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>AR: Benton County Commission Adopts Recount Policy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwaonline.net\/articles\/2007\/08\/03\/news\/080407bzelectioncommission.txt\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: California Source Code Reports Released <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4907\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Today Is D-Day for Electronic Voting Machines <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alternet.org\/story\/58720\/\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: Press Release &#8220;\u201c UCBerkeley &#8211; E-voting systems vulnerable to viruses and other security attacks, new report finds <a href=\"http:\/\/www.berkeley.edu\/news\/media\/releases\/2007\/08\/02_evoting.shtml\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: CA Releases Source Code Review of Voting Machines &#8212; New Security Flaws Revealed; Old Ones Were Never Fixed <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wired.com\/27bstroke6\/2007\/08\/ca-releases-sou.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: E-voting systems vulnerable to viruses, other security attacks <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huliq.com\/29163\/e-voting-systems-vulnerable-to-viruses-other-security-attacks\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: &#8220;Top-to-Bottom Review&#8221;\u009d Provides No Basis for Trust <a href=\"http:\/\/www.commonwealinstitute.org\/CIBlog\/2007\/08\/top-to-bottom_review_provides_no_basis_for_trust.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: E-Voting Hacks Highlight Political Problems <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toptechnews.com\/story.xhtml?story_id=0030009XBKS3\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CA: CA Source Code Report: Diebold Voting Machines Can Be Hacked With Virus by Single Person, Affecting Entire Election <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=4909\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>CO: Mesa County &#8211; County struggling to find extra money to fund &#8217;08 election <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gjsentinel.com\/news\/content\/news\/stories\/2007\/08\/03\/8_3_1a_elex_budget.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>FL: Accuvote?
