California county election officials are now beginning to speak up and speak out against the decisions made in the state with regards to their voting systems. Common in all of the negative comments is that only the “Red Team” hack test and reports are being mentioned. No one can dispute the source code review reports that show all of the systems to be failures. Also missing is any discussion about the lack of accessibility of the DRE voting machines. The vendors staying quiet with regards to these issues tends to lead one to think that they knew all about their failures in the past and have no defense.
