Voting machine press briefing!

Prevent the problems that have happened in other cities from happening here before it is too late!

New York 's machine certification schedule is pushed back past December. With machines not being certified until, perhaps, February 20. In the new schedule, counties could be asked to choose equipment no later than March 7.

The delays are directly related to Ciber, the so-called "Independent Testing Authority" conducting most of NY's certification, and being unable to produce an acceptable Security Test Plan. Further revision of the security test plan is in progress, but the full security review cannot be completed before February.

We could generously say that Ciber didn't know what they were facing as they certified everything put in front of them for a couple years. Not so generously I say they are responsible for the recent, undeserved recertifying of the CA machines, and are still not reliable. This delay is due to another ITA deeming their plan lacking.

Ciber was listed on Hacking Democracy as not checking the Diebold for security, but certifying nonetheless.
