Re: Was the Daily Camera really there ??: Paper Beats Electric...


Ryan M. called me yesterday afternoon before I sent out the release, interrupting the tail end of another lengthy conversation I was having with Richard Valenty of the Colorado Daily.

From what I can tell, among other areas of agreement between the County Clerk's office and Citizens for Verifiable Voting is that the Daily Camera should be covering this issue more in-depth (or just "more" would be good, too), as both Tom Halicki and I have apparently commented to Ryan.

Thanks for your vigilance trying to get this issue covered better by the media.

Re: Was the Daily Camera really there - again. ? (Friday, 12 December)

It was good for the Daily Camera to have a front page story today (below
the fold) about the decision made yesterday morning, at the meeting of
the Boulder County election officials. Headline: 'Paper beats electric
for voting system'

As two members of the public who were at the meeting yesterday, Neal
McBurnett and I were not able to identify any reporters from the Daily
Camera present in the room. Richard Valenty (Colorado Daily) and Berny
Morson (Rocky Mountain News) were there... Times Call...? Denver Post
..?

My guess is the Daily Camera ran this story as a result of the CVV press
release you sent out late yesterday afternoon...

I am Cc'ing this to some Daily Camera folks, to see if there is a good
reason they were not there at the meeting yesterday morning...

Bye, Peter Richards

Paper beats electric for voting system
County decides to wait for national standards

By Ryan Morgan, Camera Staff Writer
December 13, 2003

Boulder County election officials have decided they would rather not

act in haste and repent in leisure when it comes to adopting a new

generation of voting machines.

The county has decided to put off buying new electronic voting
machines, said Tom Halicki, the county's election manager. It will,

however, still try to buy a new non-electronic system in the next
few
weeks, "We're pulling one half of the equation out," he said. The
move
pleased local critics of electronic voting.
