She assured everyone that no one " up <br /> here" would ever consider doing so . Negotiations were done at arm ' s length . The Board has <br /> 117 absolute confidence in Messrs . Chandler and Baird . <br /> Chairman Ginn then questioned Mr . Cosgrove regarding the Cal Tech study and the <br /> work done by Dr . Rebecca Mecuri and Dr . Peter Newman all of which she has studied . She <br /> specifically asked about security risks as to the source code which she understood was <br /> proprietary . She asked for assurances that no one would be able to tamper with the source <br /> code . <br /> Mr . Cosgrove stated that Mr . Paul Craft would be able to explain the State ' s view and <br /> their certification of the source code and procedures . The machines are standalone units and <br /> one would need knowledge of the source code and would have to go to each machine in order <br /> to have a widespread impact . There are only five people in Sequoia who have direct <br /> knowledge in terms of writing to that source code . He explained in detail the pre-testing and <br /> post-testing for logic and accuracy procedures and how the protections that exist in <br /> electronic voting are vastly superior to the protections in any paper system . He is satisfied <br /> that the security offered with the Sequoia system is superior to any others . <br /> Mr . Cosgrove then spoke in extensive detail concerning the reports to which Chainnan <br /> Ginn referred . He predicted a revision to the Cal Tech report will be seen in the future in <br /> response to the University of Berkeley ' s report . <br /> Chairman Ginn then asked for assurance that touching the screen to vote for a <br /> candidate actually resulted in a vote for that candidate . <br /> Mr . Cosgrove responded that analyzers of their system have proved to themselves that <br /> the proprietary code they have written will deliver a vote to the candidate of the voter ' s <br /> choice . Other logic and system testing gives that assurance to election officials .
