Al,  Read this letter I just wrote to the UT Lt. Governor
http://utahcountvotes.org/Herbert0508.pdf

and this July 20 US EAC Advisory
http://utahcountvotes.org/docs/EAC%20Advisory%202005-004%20on%20HAVA_301.pdf

and these analyses of the Advisory -
http://utahcountvotes.org/docs/ and click on ERROR RATE STANDARDS

and also check out VotersUnite.org and VerfiedVoting.org for great 
explanations on which voting machines do NOT meet HAVA laws under the 
new EAC advisory.

It looks like the majority of today's DRE voting machines (exception 
Accupoll which produces a hand countable opscan ballot) are NOT HAVA 
compliant!! 

Any counties or states which use them as of the first federal election 
in 2006 may not legally able to use HAVA funds to purchase them and may 
be open to easy lawsuits by citizens.

This may convince counties not to use/purchase them if they haven't already.
