Press Release: National Election Data Archive
Utah Newspapers Neglect to Cover Voting Machine Security Reports Released May 11 & 22
Diebold Should Replace Its Voting Machines with Its More Secure Ones!
By Kathy Dopp, National Election Data Archive
Despite it being covered nationally in the New York Times, Newsweek and CA and PA papers, and on many technical web sites, including Utah's BYU computer scientist, Phillip Windley's blog, who is a former CIO of the state of Utah -- although there was an article presenting all sides in the Tooela newspaper this week and KCPW.org has covered it -- not one Utah newspaper has yet reported on the public release of the two security reports on May 11 and May 22, that were done as a result of Emery County Clerk Bruce Funk's diligent investigation by computer security experts:
The May 11 report is available here:

http://www.blackboxvoting.org/bbvtsxstudy-supp.pdf(Security reports take many many months to accomplish due to the technically time-consuming process of determining what machine code and electrical circuitry is constructed to do.)
Please Utah Press! Utahns deserve to know the truth about their voting machines!
Why is anyone still believing anything that Diebold (and our Lt. Governor's office) tells them?
Worse, Doug Aagard's HB348 recently re-wrote UT election law, including definition of what a ballot is, without any mention of the voter verifiable paper-roll ballot records - making it illegal to count the voter-verifiable ballot record and hence making it illegal to conduct any independent checks of Utah's vote counts to detect errors (innocent or deliberate)!
on edit - had to add one more paragraph
