Bev Harris, Jim March turn down California Qui Tam settlement

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discu...dress=203x50547

California attorney general indicated that if we didn't accept the settlement, California would cancel our whistleblower bounty on the grounds that we did not keep the evidence under seal.

We turned it down anyway. Here's why: The California settlement treats the Diebold problem as kind of a temporary certification glitch, and does not deal with the severe flaws found in GEMS (double set of books, nonexistent security), the votercard encoder (failed in March, disenfranchising voters, and contains a secret plan to do away with the poll book audit trail, making it electronic, nor did it deal with the unauthorized customization of Windows.

In short, it was a PR opportunity for the A.G. that was completely meaningless in terms of voting integrity reform.

Instead of accepting the settlement, we will be taking Diebold into discovery. All aboard for the ride, should be a wild one.
