According to an article on BradBlog a recent study by a doctoral candidate at Rice University found that approximately two-thirds of voters failed to notice malicious changes made to their DRE review screens during mock election testing. Approximately two-thirds of another group of voters failed to notice vote swapping that took place on their review screen. If two-thirds of voters do not review the review screen when voting on a DRE what makes anyone believe that voters will verify a voter verified paper audit trail printed by a printer on the side of their machine? Also the EAC announced today that they have terminated the interim accreditation of Ciber Labs due to a lack of required notification of key personnel changes. Wyle notified the EAC that Shawn Sounthworth left Ciber and went to work for them. Ciber apparently forgot to make that notification.
