Hello Jonathan,
We are very disappointed by the “Voting System Certification FAQs” posting. [see below]
1. It does not include the many legitimate and relevant questions that we have asked, thereby giving a false impression of order.
2. It, in a sense, declares war on the people of Colorado by essentially declaring that Department of State staff is omnipotent and not accountable to the people. “The Secretary of State will not consider outside influences while reaching a decision.”
This declaration of secrecy forces us to prepare CORA requests to gain access to the information we have requested.
Would you be willing to join us in a joint press conference so that the press can get a clear understanding of what is happening?
This process must be exposed to sunshine.

To interested parties:
The Secretary of State’s Office has posted Frequently Asked Questions in regards to the re-testing of Colorado electronic voting equipment. We will add to and update the information in this document as necessary as we proceed with the re-testing process.
The FAQ’s can be found at
http://www.elections.colorado.gov/DDefault.aspx?tid=501 under the Overview of Voting System Certification.
We hope you find this information useful.
Thank you.
