The state has been ordered by the court to re-certify all voting systems used in the state. This order is a result of a lawsuit that proved that previous SoS Gigi Dennis had failed in her job to ensure voting systems were actually certified. Now Secretary Coffman is trying to follow the court order but the vendors seem to be standing in the way and making the pre-certification testing and inspection a process that is harder than necessary. Of course the vendors claim that they are doing all they can to assist the state. One has to wonder why Secretary Coffman would lie about the lack of support. Do the vendors want to drag the process out as long as possible so time runs short and the certification process has to be rushed? Are they all trying to hide something?&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"list\">\n<li>NAtional: EXCLUSIVE: Another California Congressman Indicates Possible Withdrawal of Support for Holt Election Reform Bill <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=5001\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: Tova Wang &#8211; A Rigged Report on U.S. Voting? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2007\/08\/29\/AR2007082901928.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: A Case Against Electronic Ballot Counting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/opedne_rick_fis_070827_a_case_against_elect.htm\" target=\"_blank\"><i>LINK<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>NAtional: The Good Guys Strike Back!<br \/>\nThree Smart Editorials Today Calling the Bad Guys Out and Demanding Accountability!
