CA Sec. of State Document on Voting Machine Certification ‘Disappeared’ from SoS Website…

UPDATE: SoS Now Claims They’ve ‘Abandoned’ Previous Procedures, but — in Yet Another Apparent Violation of State Law — Have Failed to Issue Any New Ones!
From BlackBoxVoting.org yesterday…
the California document called “Procedures for Approving, Certifying, Reviewing, Modifying and Decertifying Voting Systems” has disappeared from the secretary of state’s Web site — a remarkable coincidence, since many citizens are looking for it.
They want to know how it is that the Secretary of State can claim procedures were followed, given the sorry state of security and accuracy in many of the voting systems now being used in California.
See the BBV link for more details, and a “found copy” of the document via Archive.org.
According to Joseph Holder, the lead plaintiff in the VoterAction.org lawsuit against the State of California to halt the use and purchase of Diebold touch-screen voting machines, “Within the last month the link was still there and working.”
But now it’s gone. Go figure.

I haven’t done anything on my site lately, unfortunately. But I’ve been keeping busy and helping Brad as much as I can. So that’s a good thing.
