Updates / Tomorrow - CVV's Position

["Joe Pezzillo" <jpezzillo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I called Drew Durham's office (303-894-2200x6307) and left a voicemail 
asking him to fax me a confirmation of the SoS Extension Request.

Anyone want to grab coffee this afternoon and talk about next steps, 
including tomorrow morning's meeting? I thought our coffee after the 
presentation was productive and fun and I'm sure there were some great 
ideas for our next steps (like the "Citizen's Specification") that I 
didn't include in my last e-mail.

Regarding tomorrow's meeting, I just want to reiterate with the group 
that Citizen's for Verifiable Voting's position is that: absolutely no 
DRE systems should be purchased at this time for reasons we have 
clarified to the Commissioners;  any system eventually chosen must be 
based on a single (presumably hand-marked, since "DMP" Direct Mark 
Paper devices aren't available yet) full-text paper ballot that is 
centrally scanned on a system that is [fully?] disclosed to citizens 
[?].

From our disclosure experts: What are some of criteria for Disclosure? 
I have sent e-mails to both Hart and Avante asking them to state their 
willingness to disclose their systems to citizen review.

Also, Jim Burris, the County's information officer, told me last night 
that he thought that the Public Hearing would be held before Christmas, 
so please stay ready to attend such a meeting on relatively short 
notice sometime in the next two weeks!
