We need your help - this week.



Friends,

 

Please remind folks that it is imperative that we each immediately write/call the Secretary of State regarding Rule-45, scheduled for hearing October 31st.  (Bill Compton, Director of Elections bill.compton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 303-894-2200 x-6307.)

 

It is imperative that the Secretary of State (1) withdraw this rule-45, (2) cancel the October 31st hearing, and (3) withdraw Emergency Rule-45.  All three of these steps are required to stop the implementation of this inept certification procedure and the purchase of untrustworthy equipment.

 

We have described specific actions that we would like to see taken, in our letters to the Colorado Secretary of State and the Election Assistance Commission.  On our BLOG www.ColoradoVoter.blogspot.com see:

 

  • “Does the Secretary of State Represent the People?”
  • Colorado is up to new mischief”
  • Colorado releases secret RFP for voting systems”
  • “CAMBER comments re: Voluntary Voting System Guidelines” ( including attachments)

 

It is vital that we stop this rule.  (See more in the following.)

Friends,

 

Despite our strong recommendations to do otherwise, the Secretary of State intends to stuff Rule-45 down the throats of the people of Colorado.

 

Rule-45 will establish an inept certification procedure as the law of the land in Colorado.  We have appealed for a procedural change wherein the people would have a voice in this process.  To date our appeals have been rejected.

 

I hope that you will take the time to study the document and submit comments.  If this rule is adopted, we are guaranteed poor elections for years to come.

 

A rulemaking hearing will be held on October 31, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. in the Secretary of State’s conference room, Suite 270, 1700 Broadway, Denver, Colorado 80290.

 

All interested persons will be afforded an opportunity to be heard on the subject of additions to the “Rules Concerning Certification of Voting Equipment”.

 

Subject of the Proposed Rulemaking - Rules establishing procedures for implementation of Title 1, Article 5, Section 616 concerning the minimum standards for electronic and electromechanical voting systems.

 

A copy of the proposed Rule-45 is available at 8CCR 1515-1 Proposed Election Rules of the Colorado Secretary of State - Redline - 10/24/05  http://www.elections.colorado.gov/DDefault.aspx?tid=184&vmid=154
