If decision stands, county would have to provide data regarding e-voting machines
By Ian Hoffman, STAFF WRITER
A state judge has found
that elections officials in Alameda County violated the California
Constitution and election law by refusing to provide data about Diebold
touchscreen voting machinery to proponents of a failed ballot
initiative seeking a recount.
If appealed and upheld, the ruling could require elections
officials statewide to provide detailed records about the operation of
electronic-voting machines and software as part of a recount.
"There's certainly no
motivation here for elections officials to want to voluntarily turn
this over because any indication that anything went wrong implicates
their administration and their selection of the machines in the first
place," Zimmerman said. "We haven't had a good ruling like this to tell
elections officials to follow the law."
