Two federal election advisory groups are meeting in Houston this week to review a written "tool kit" for election officials designed to prevent the kind of controversies that called into question the results of the 2000 presidential election.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The draft document being reviewed makes these recommendations to address some of the technology challenges:

• Obtain a guarantee in writing that the voting system has met state certification standards or undergone independent testing to meet voluntary federal guidelines.

• Test every unit when it comes out of storage

• Invite the public and media to view all aspects of testing
(Hmmm, will Bev & Andy be invited?)

• Implement a well-organized procedure that documents every instance when the equipment changes hands
