I think Al has the original letter from Billy Compton confirming that
uncertified software; it should be forwarded again to The Donetta along with
her exact quote from the program, with CC: to the program host, to see if he
cares to follow up on her response, perhaps in a "rest of the story"
postsript on a later program.

FYI - After the TV show last night I mentioned to Donetta, since we 
know she's extremely concerned about certification, that Boulder County 
had used an uncertified Diebold system in November 2003 and asked her 
if anyone would be held accountable for that since they talked on the 
program about penalties being the key disincentive preventing improper 
actions by elections officials. She said she didn't know anything about 
it, despite the fact her office verified this had been the case and 
would theoretically be responsible for assuring these things don't 
happen (and for any penalties?), especially in a live election, 
presumably.
