California statutes contain the exact same language through most of this.
Now, when it comes to the most important possible information, We the People have been shut out completely. Only the elections officials and the vendors have the possibility of knowing, or the access and the time to learn about electronic voting.
Elections are also where the Government gets all of their power, legitimacy and taxing authority. And yet, the Government also counts the votes. This is like writing your own paycheck secretly, if the public does not supervise and oversee their own elections.
The fundamental conflict with Sequoia Edge touch screens and optical scanning equipment is that the vote counting is rendered completely secret and the public does not have any idea of the true count, nor do elections officials (for that matter) and yet the magic numbers are simply certified as accurate anyway. This certification-without-knowing is significant because there's no court in our country where one can testify on something even as insignificant as a speeding ticket without personal knowledge of relevant facts, yet elections officials have no personal knowledge of the secret vote counts, but still certify the results anyway.
Because America is the world's richest country and sole military superpower, we have every reason to believe that the lessons of history teach us that every manner of device, artifice, trick or conquest would be used to obtain the handsome prize of political control of America. To believe otherwise is not only historically naïve, but it is also evidences a certain lack of love for America, or at least a belief that controlling America is not an attractive proposition.
Now, with electronic voting, the danger of fraud that has always been present has been amplified enormously, such that even one person with access to one results disk for a few minutes can change many thousands of votes while erasing its own evidence after waiting months for the election to occur, while with paper ballots such a task would be very laborious, and would create evidence.
