BBV: LA County official admits to lax certification enforcement.

Conny McCormak, of LA County:

"Isn’t proper certification of election software an issue?

We have been using and patching software in L.A. County for over 30 years. Whenever changes are made, an incredible amount of testing is done – literally thousands of checks. Now, there have been infractions by all vendors, including in L.A. County. We have not been dotting every “i” and crossing every “t” to certify all the software. But it would be the biggest irony, to me, to have someone say that because we hadn’t done it by such-and-such a date we couldn’t do it. We saw a similar situation in Maryland when they had their primary on March 2. They wanted to put in some security enhancements which hadn’t gone through all of the testing labs, so they decided they were going to waive , because it was more important to have the security enhancements than to have finalization of the process."

"She offered no denial of the charge that she had circumvented the legal requirement for certification; when pressed on the issue, she ended the conversation."
