1. LOL.... Emulation...

"Describe to me how the test was run.

Well, I was picturing that people would go up and touch the touch screen and verify that what they had pressed was registered as a vote. But the way it's run is, they have a test cartridge that they pop into the back of the machine, and it runs a script -- it runs several hundred different voters, like some type of emulation."

This is ridiculos... -C

2. Kicking this for Others

I'll have to read it later.

Remember, according to an industry insider, to do a proper L&A test for the recent California election, would have taken 27 YEARS.

3. The run a script in Georgia too

but only while the machines are in "Test Mode."
