The spam filter
that caught Mr. Puls’ email is not the filter at my terminal. It was the
filter set for all state email addresses. So, it was caught at email hub, not
my computer.
I check my “junk”
mail every day to make sure I don’t miss emails. I have no emails in my “junk”
mail folder from Mr. Puls or any other member of the advocacy community.

Mr. Choate:
Spam filters can be set to pass specific "From:" addresses
straight through.
You should have offered to:
(1) Set your spam filter to exempt Lou and all others
who are engaged in minding the security and
integrity of the voting process in Colorado.
(2) Explicitly stated the primary triggers for your spam filter.
Better for you to have to delete 100 spams than to
exclude even one email from us, the Electorate.

Lou – If your
message to my email address was caught in the spam filter it does not represent
a “refus(al) to receive and consider…” your comments. Instead, it likely
means that the spam filter set for all state email addresses concluded that the
message fit its criteria for spam. Because we have nothing to do with the
criteria that the filter uses to identify spam, please don’t assume that the
failure of the message to go through represents an active decision on the part
of my office.
It’s just an
email that bounced.
So, please
resend your email. I will respond so you know I have received it.

Subject: Voting Machines and the SoS Ostriches
To all concerned about
verifiable, trustworthy elections:
It is very interesting that our election officials of the Colorado
Secretary of State office consider notifications from a list of specific,
long-testifying experts in digital voting to be "spam" and to refuse
to receive and consider public revelations of FACT of the ongoing,
consistent, and pervasive security failures of computerized elections!
