California Top To Bottom Review

In 2007, Secretary of State had the University of California conduct a top to bottom review of three voting systems used in the state. The results were devastating :

"The red teams demonstrated that the security mechanisms provided for all systems analyzed were inadequate to ensure accuracy and integrity of the election results and of the systems that provide those results."
