CAMBER requests confirmation of missing records

 

January 21, 2004

 

Mr. Tom Halicki

Boulder County Elections Manager                      VIA Email

 

Dear Mr. Halicki:

 

RE:     CAMBER, Information request, January 9, 2004

          CAMBER, Open Records Request, January 14, 2004

          Your reply, January 20, 2004

 

We are in receipt of your letter dated January 20, 2004.  Do we understand correctly:

 

1.      voting system requirements were not revised to incorporate the major December decision to exclude DRE's for the 2004 election?

 

2.      a revised invitation to bid was not published so that vendors of products and services certified for paper ballot elections could compete?

 

3.      written records were not kept of reference checks with jurisdictions, voters and other organizations that have had experience using the proposed paper ballot system?

 

4.      nothing documents the Colorado Secretary of State's target dates for HAVA voting system standards and for conversion to the new statewide voter registration?

 

5.      nothing certifies that the proposed system is secure, reliable and verifiable?

 

6.      nothing documents how the proposed solution will meet Boulder County's needs?

 

7.      nothing certifies that the proposed system adaptations would be NASED and Colorado certified in time to meet Boulder County's election schedules?

 

8.      the materials on the Internet represent the entire plan for the 2004 elections?  They are the only materials that would be used to settle future contract disputes?  They would be the only materials used to affix responsibility?

 

We would appreciate your confirmation of our interpretation of your letter.

 

Respectfully,

 

 

AI Kolwicz

Executive Director

 

PS:     For the record, we don't concur with your interpretation of Open Records statutes.
