BBV: I called Ms Kathy Rogers just moments ago.....

[Andy_Stephenson]

and she has agreed to send me the certification information, on the equipment and software in use in Ga in the 2002 election. I dunno if this has been made available but it will be interesting to see what she sends.

edit: Or if she sends it.

1. Good job -- and if you get hold of it

let me know right away, because I think we can quickly "audit" that against the NASED certified versions, which I finally got my hands on from another source (being as R. Doug Lewis and NASED don't seem to feel compelled to provide it)

Thanks, GB&C

[never cry wolf]

2. If I recall correctly

neither Bev nor DA had any luck getting that info. If she follows through, that would be great!! Thanks for your work on this, gbnc.

ALL HAIL GBNC!

7. Well Well Well

Just called Ms Rogers back asking if the fax had been sent. She said she had turned my request over to...are you ready for this...Mr Cliff Tatum. I asked her again...so there is a certification letter. She said..."I assure you there is certification". We will be handling this under the open records act of the state of Georgia and we have "3 days to respond". Sounds like a stall to me. I really think there is no certification. Are these people are running scared? Or do I smell herring again?

11. Here is the transcript of the call.

GBnC: Hi is this Cathy?

Rogers: Yes it is

GBnC: Hi My name is GBnc I understand you have certifications on the Diebold voting machines.

Rogers: Didn't you send me an email at about 2 oclock this morning?

GBnC: Yes I was up late and up early. DO you have that information?

Rogers: HAHAHAHA Would you like me to send you that information?

GBnC: I was really hoping you could fax it to me can you do that?

Rogers: Um yes I can can you hold on for just a second?

GBnC: Sure no problem

Pause for an eternity.........

Rogers: I can't find anyone to fax it right now...could I get your address and fax number?

GBnC: Sure..........

On the second call I was informed that my request would be handled by Cliff under the Ga open records act and it would be three days for my request to be processed.

So there you have it

[Vadem]

12. Thanks GBnC! Do you think you will get it in 3 days?

Start the countdown and hold her to it! Great job!


Thanks!
