Gideon of  Sarasota Co Florida Supervisor of Elections, Kathy
Dent, intends on holding a mock election which will minimally
test the new voting system being purchased by the county. This
system has still not been federally certified by the EAC, though
that is not a Florida requirement. The county will not test
accuracy to ensure use of the voting system complies with the
Help America Vote Act of 2002. Instead they will do a minimal
test on tabulators, modems, and other parts of the system. How
can voters of the county be assured that their voting system is
accurate when the system has never been tested to ensure that
accuracy?...
