Secretary McPherson's letter to Diebold.

In case you missed it, here is Secretary McPherson's letter to Diebold requiring federal source code review for Diebold's TSx system and related components. From the Secretary's letter:

"Unresolved significant security concerns exist with respect to the memory card used to program and configure the AccuVote-OS and the AccuVote-TSX components of this system because this component was not subjected to federal source code review and evaluation by the Independent Testing Authorities (ITA) who examined your system for federal qualification. It is the Secretary of State's position that the source code for the AccuBasic code on these cards, as well as for the AccuBasic interpreter that interprets this code, should have been federally reviewed."
