Secretary of State asked to
withdraw proposed election rule
Colorado Secretary of State Gigi Dennis has been asked to withdraw a
proposed
election rule scheduled for hearing on Monday, October 31st. The
proposed rule,
Rule 45, would establish standards for the certification of voting
equipment.
Security and computer professionals who criticize the rule say they
have
identified illustrative problems and described specific actions that
they would
like to see taken.
“Voting systems certified under this rule will disenfranchise voters,
prevent transparency, and produce untrustworthy elections,” according
to Al Kolwicz, executive
director of CAMBER, Citizens
for Accurate Mail Ballot Election Results.
Public comment on the rule is solicited at Monday’s 1:30 p.m. hearing.
Hearing materials are published on the Secretary of State’s website.
CAMBER’s comment letter to Secretary of State Dennis is published on

of State asked to withdraw rule .
