Unanimous California Voting Systems Panel Weighs in Against
Paperless Diebold Electronic Voting Machines

California's Voting Systems Panel has just voted unanimously
that the Diebold TSx paperless electronic voting system be
decertified for use in California. Although the final decision
is up to California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, he is
expected to follow the recommendation of the board before
April 30, 2004.

The Voting Systems Panel did not recommend against continued
use of the Diebold TS electronic voting machines or use of
optical-scan voting machines. The GEMs software is also not
affected by this decision.

VerifiedVoting.org Legislative Analyst Bob Kibrick testified
at the Voting Systems Panel hearings.
