For Immediate Release: San Francisco, April 26, 2006 – California  
Voters marked their latest legal action today by lauding officials in  
seven California counties for their commitments to use or switch to  
all paper balloting rather than electronic voting systems. The  
Counties of Humboldt, Marin, Placer, San Luis Obispo, Trinity,  
Tulare, and Santa Barbara were dismissed today from the California  
Voters Lawsuit (Holder v. McPherson), supported by Voter Action, and  
filed in San Francisco Superior Court last month. The suit seeks to  
nullify Secretary of State Bruce McPherson’s “conditional”  
certification authorizing purchase of the Diebold TSx electronic  
voting system – which has a history of security, verifiability, and  
disability access problems –for use in California elections.
