Calif. Electronic Voting Machines Deemed Accurate
(AP) SACRAMENTO State officials say that Election Day testing showed that electronic voting machines used in California on November 7th accurately recorded votes.
The secretary of state's office tested machines at random in eight counties, covering all four of the types of machines currently approved for use in California.
The tests involved people who cast fake votes on the tested machines using a script.
The tests were videotaped and monitored by teams that included members of the secretary of state's staff and independent experts.

The tests involved people who "voted" on the tested machines using a script.
The tests were videotaped and monitored by teams that included members of the secretary of state's staff and independent experts.
Results were checked against the script to determine the accuracy of the machines, said Caren Daniels-Meade, head of the office's elections division.
If there were inconsistencies, monitors checked the videotape to determine if the "voter" had made an error, Daniels-Meade said.
"It's the only test that's able to demonstrate functionality under real live Election Day conditions," she said Saturday.
