RE: RFPET Recommendation

["Some Guy" <someguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neal had me thinking that the clerk had published another bit mapped PDF.
Well it isn't a bit map and it is posted on the clerk's site. However, since
the clerk doesn't keep this stuff posted for all that long and hides the
archives ...

http://bcn.boulder.co.us/community/elections/RFPET-Recommendations.pdf

is a more permanent location.

Subject: RFPET Recommendation

Attached is a new version of the RFPET Recommendation which has
searchable/copyable text.

I don't yet see it at the clerk's web site

 http://www.co.boulder.co.us/clerk/elections/index.htm

It is a shame to see the committee not require that the system comply
with Colorado law (by producing auditable results) and rush ahead in
the face of so many problems.  And the 'bait and switch' from a rental
to suggesting that it be bought is a real end-run around the
democratic process.

We haven't seen the price yet, but the county should offer the same
possibility to other bidders and start the RFP process over, with
specific invites to ballot marking vendors and demands that the
Secretary of State should certify ballot marking equipment like other
states do.
