This action is being taken after a state investigation that found that the Diebold\/Premier voting system violates the standards because of problems with its audit logs as well as the inaccuracy of one version used in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Humboldt Co has already decided to switch to another vendor and the other two counties are already upgrading their systems so Bowen&#8217;s action does nothing at all. The fact that she is ignoring the audit log problems means that she is giving her tacit stamp of approval on the Diebold\/Premier systems that have the audit log problem.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to begin posting links to new information that I find on the United States Election Assistance Commission website.
