This is video of Holt's testimony before the NJ State Senate Goevrnment Committee yesterday (Thursday 12/11/08). (The first few minutes of his remarks is missing; but as you'll see....he makes his case quite clear in the testimony that is present. This is a link to the text of his prepared testimony....http://www.verifiedvotingfoundation.org/article.php?id=6667 The bill they voted on will allow NJ to extend, yet again, the deadline for complying with the mandate (for voter verifiable paper ballots) until Novemberof 2010. This law was passed in 2005 and its implementation has already been delayed once. There is also a provision which allows he state to "test" reworked touch screen machines (with technology from the 70,s and 80's) with external printers. The one that Sequoia had on display in the statehouse was still not even completely functional....after 4 years of "jury rigging".Something really weird (at best) is going on here.The following verbiage is copied from an email from verifiedvoting.orgPlease read it and send a message to the NJ legislature that enough is enough and that they need to get serous about correcting the status quo so we can have secure, convenient, verifiable and CHEAPER elections using the kinds of optical scanning technology that is being used in most of the USA.UPDATE: the full state Senate may vote to eliminate the requirement for voter-verified paper records as early as the week of Monday December 15. If you have not already acted, now is the time!It boggles the mind, but New Jersey's progress toward verifiable elections is once again threatened.Three years ago, the New Jersey Legislature passed a law requiring voter-verifiable paper records by January 2008. Then twice in 2008, the Legislature extended that deadline, first to June 2008, then to January 2009.Now verifiable voting in New Jersey will be delayed indefinitely unless you act. The bill S2380, and its companion A3458, would undo the the requirement, and establish a "pilot program" for voter-verified paper records. If enacted, S2380 and A3458 could well mean that New Jersey voters will not have verifiable voting in time for the next election for Governor in 2009. The only reasonable course of action now is to require the deployment of a better voting system to meet New Jersey's legal requirement for voter-verified paper records -- paper optical scan ballots -- as soon as feasible, but not later than the gubernatorial election. Over 30 states have managed to implement verifiable, recountable, auditable voting without a comedy of delays or a pilot program. Please fill out the form below to send a letter to New Jersey's lawmakers. Use the letter shown below or edit as you see fit.Tell New Jersey's lawmakers: no more delays. And thank you for taking action!"PLEASE GO TO THE SITE BELOW AND FILL OUT THE FORM THERE. THANK YOU http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/199/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26210
