California to Start Review of Voting Machines

An anonymous reader writes "California Secretary of State Debra Bowen just announced details about the previously discussed 'top-to-bottom review' of almost all voting and counting systems used in the state. The team features big names in e-voting security: David Wagner, Matt Bishop, Ed Felten, Matt Blaze, and Harri Hursti, among others. Vendors have time to submit their machines including documentation and source code until July 1st or face severe restrictions, including decertification, for the 2008 elections. Scheduled to start next week, the review will include a red-team attack and going through the source code."

If Ohio and Florida are among the several state in America, then the State of Florida and the State of Ohio are among the united States of America (1776); not to be confused with the two competing nations the United States (1871) and America (1492). Then there is a confederation known as the United States of America (1792).
