DESCRIPTION:You're invited to rally with Professor and Investigative Journalist Bob 
 Fitrakis and   Attorney and East Bay community leader   Walter Riley  
 Tuesday, August 2, at 10 a.m. at the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.  
 Let's celebrate Secretary of State McPherson's action to withold 
 certification from Diebold, and let's ask the Board of Supervisors to 
 rescind their hasty and inappropriate action of June 28 (see below).  
 Please also send your email and phone messages to the Supervisors. Check 
 http://www.co.alameda.ca.us/board/index.htm  for contact information for 
 each of them.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Diebold's TouchScreen and Paper Audit 
 Trail technology have been found defective and unfit for use in California! 
 This is the technology that the Board of Supervisors on June 28 directed 
 the Registrar of Voters to negotiate to purchase! Ask the Board to rescind 
 this directive!  When: Tuesday, August 2, 10:00 a.m.  Where: 1221 Oak 
 Street  Oakland, CA.    Please rally at the Alameda County administration 
 building, home of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, to:  1. Ask the 
 Board of Supervisors to rescind their action of June 28 directing the 
 Registrar of Voters to negotiate a contract with Diebold for additional 
 election technology.   2. Ask the Board instead to permit and direct the 
 Registrar of Voters to maximize the use of voter verified paper ballots in 
 the upcoming November election and to seek information from other vendors, 
 especially those using open source software.  3. Ask the Board to meet with 
 a nonpartisan group of Bay Area computer election security experts to learn 
 about the vulnerabilities of electronic voting systems.    How many 
 California Secretaries of State does it take to convince Alameda County to 
 stop using Diebold technology? Kevin Shelley decertified the Diebold TSx 
 last year. Now Bruce McPherson has withheld certification from the Diebold 
 TSx and its paper trail printer.  Looking forward to seeing you there and 
 then.  \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2005/08/01/72303.php
