RE: California Voting Machines

I just posted a second article about the Diebold voting machine hackability. Seems that the California elections chief has some questions about using those machines. Only McPherson is putting the onus on the federal government to certify the memory card instead of ordering a state evaluation. He was quoted in the article that the software that programs the card has never been reviewed by the federal government. Isn't that kind of like Lil Red Riding Hood asking directions from the big bad wolf?
