Calif. Attorney General Bill Lockyer was informed of the improperly
certified Windows CE, its risk to the voting system, and the fact that
Diebold misrepresented it to the testing labs. He was informed of this
in formal papers filed by Jim March and Bev Harris in Nov. 2003, but
did no investigation and took no action against either Diebold or the
test labs, who should have caught this.
Lockyer also knew of the problem with GEMS hackability and Diebold's
misrepresentation of GEMS as a "secure" system, but took no action and
did not investigate.
Investigations are now underway, led by public officials of courage
and sturdy character. Calif. Senate Elections Chair Debra Bowen proved
it can be done.
Backgrounder (long): The following documents show that the testing
labs lied and that, according to them, Diebold misrepresented its
materials to them. If you are in contact with state-level legislators
who can hold further hearings, please provide this document to them.

Thanks to Stephen Heller and others like him. When it comes to
elections, there can be no justification for keeping information away
from the public while allowing public officials, ballot initiatives,
judges, presidents and control of the U.S. congress to take place. If
information is withheld, the damage cannot be undone.
