The Boulder County Clerk's self-appointed
"Election Review Committee" might as well shut down. Any report from
them will be a waste of time.
No matter what the committee reports, the Secretary of State and the Clerk's
office have decided to keep the HART system and to pay the vendor. According to
a Boulder Camera report, the state is paying about $850,000 of the $1.4 million
that the county agreed to pay for the system.
Apparently, reports of widespread failures in the Boulder County voting system
will have no effect on the Clerk's decision to keep the HART system. That the
system violates Colorado's constitutional guarantee of a secret ballot does not
matter. That the system is not secure, accurate and verifiable does not matter.
Doesn't it just make you scream when government officials use your money to pay
for and cover up their mistakes?
