From "Risks Digest":
Kolwicz kicked out for submitting real election tests
Al
Kolwicz, official representative to Boulder County's test of its new vote counting system, was asked by County
Clerk, Linda Salas, to leave the test.
When asked what happened, Kolwicz said, "we submitted sample ballots to
test the security and accuracy of the county's new vote counting system."
The sample ballots included tests
such as - (1) what happens if a voter
circles the box rather than filling in the entire box with a black pen,
and
(2) what happens if a voter marks over the ballot serial number in hopes that this will make the ballot
secret. (Boulder County's new ballots are
not secret.)
Salas consulted with the Secretary of State,
Donetta Davidson's office, by phone. Following their private conversation, Salas asked Kolwicz to
leave.
Kolwicz left immediately and went outside of the building to record some notes. Deputy P. Dunphy, who was
in the room where the testing was being conducted, came out to find Kolwicz on a bench. He told Kolwicz that he was
not to return to the building. "It looks like a sham is being foist upon the public", said Kolwicz. The tests
prepared by Kolwicz are limited to things that can happen in this year's primary election.
